Laïcité and woman rights: A few milestones for an historical reflection
Historically, laïcité and woman rights are not systematically related. In the legacy of political philosophy, the conception of private and public spheres and of the sexual inequality have a decisive influence on non-confessional thought, on the Civil Code and the policies of laïcisation. Feminist pressures were essential in the adoption of woman rights and the connection between laïcité and sexual equality.
Key Words : women rights, sexual inequality
