L'Histoire oubliée des femmes au foyer | Projection et discussion
In-Person Event | March 28, 2023 | 7:00 p.m.
Projection du film documentaire suivie d’une discussion avec Marie-Pierre Rixain, Michèle Dominici et Jeanne Lazarus
Projection du film documentaire de Michèle Dominici, L'Histoire oubliée des femmes au foyer, suivie d’une discussion avec Marie-Pierre Rixain, Michèle Dominici et Jeanne Lazarus.
Se dédier aux tâches domestiques, de la préparation des repas au ménage, veiller au bonheur paisible des siens dans un chez-soi coquet… C’est au milieu du XIXe siècle, avec l’avènement d’une nouvelle classe moyenne, qu’apparaissent en France les premières femmes au foyer. Au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, dopé par le consumérisme des Trente Glorieuses, ce statut s’impose comme une promesse d’accomplissement personnel pour des générations de jeunes filles, convaincues de la noble mission de se dévouer entièrement à la famille. Mais sous le vernis de l’idéal valorisé par la pression sociale, au fil des années et de la quête d’autonomie des enfants qui grandissent, l’ennui engendré par la routine, le sentiment de mal-être et parfois la dépression rongent en silence beaucoup d’entre elles.
