Conference - Why has history ignored the role of women?

Organised by Les Amis du Musée. In partnership with the Pontarlier Amnesty International group.
By Brigitte ROCHELANDET, Doctor in the History of Mentalities.
Why has history ignored the role of women despite their significant contributions? Based on the "Matilda effect", this talk attempts to explain how a process was set in motion to make women invisible, by exploring numerous fields such as painting, writing and science, to understand the reasons for this, to deconstruct misconceptions based on concrete examples and to affirm that the feminine is as good as the masculine!
