Ten years after passage of the Veil Law in a rural locale near Strasbourg, two women in their early 20s dispute whether it’s sexist for a man to open a car door for a woman. The American thinks it is. The femme française insists the woman is being insulted if he does not.
Decades later, the American thinks today about a solar eclipse series inaugurated August 1776. Number twelve of series 151 occurred between passage of two notable French laws: one on December 4, 1974, and the other January 17, 1975. Their Minister of Health who pushed forward these two, along with many other works on behalf of women’s general rights and status, now is remembered for making France (as quoted two years ago by President Macron) “better and more beautiful.”
