Abstract / Summary: In light of the 1896 International Feminist Congress to be held in Paris, Leudet reflects on the value of feminism to French society. Stressing the ideology of women’s complementarity to men, the article argues against women’s participation in politics, suggesting that such activity would create a “third sex.” Using arguments related to “natural law” and women’s supposed biological and social “duties,” the author explains feminism cannot take hold in France because, as he points out, similar movements in England and the United States have resulted in an increased number of unmarried women.
