The New Women of the Right: How the Far Right Has Waged the Gender War in France

Today in Europe, extreme and radical right-wing parties are enjoying electoral success. Their demands are visible in the media, while social networks give them unprecedented visibility. Women, who have long been resistant to these parties and their ideas, now vote like men, are actively involved and have become their figureheads. As leaders or influencers, they are revamping the party’s style and communication. In this year’s Voltaire-lecture, Magali Della Sudda shares her insights on this development.

In her book Les Nouvelles femmes de droite, political scientist Magali Della Sudda has shown how a new generation of female activists emerged in the 2010s to take up the cultural battle over gender issues.  

In her Voltaire-lecture on the role of women and gender politics in right-wing movements, Della Sudda will look back on the ‘Manif pour Tous’ (the French protest against same-sex marriage in 2012), highlight the diversity of female engagement on the right, and make the connection with similar developments in the Netherlands and Europe. Sociologist Sarah Bracke will respond to the lecture with insights from her own research on the politics of gender and sexuality.

About SPUI25

SPUI25 is the academic-cultural podium of Amsterdam. Since 2007, we have been giving scientists, authors, artists and other thinkers the opportunity to shine a light on issues that occupy, inspire or concern them. In cooperation with a large number of academic and cultural partners, we organize between 250 and 300 freely accessible programs per year. These are enriching, often interdisciplinary programs that move between science and culture, fact and fiction.
