“…The women's movement in France is divided into 'wings' (revolutionary, syndicalist, and egalitarian -see Jenson & Sineau, 1994), is 'disorganized', and has been in 'decline' since the 1970s with the exceptions of grassroots projects (e.g. bookstores and cafes) and the parity movement which invigorated it, respectively, during the 1980s and 1990s (de Beauvoir, 1996;Robinson, 2001, p. 94;Baudino, 2008). Unification led to fissures in the German movement (from differing East and West perspectives, see Young, 1996), the movement has not been strong recently, and it consists of 'local grassroots projects' (as has been common in the movement's dominant radical strand) or 'professionalized [NGO] women's organizations' (Ferree, 1987;Lang, 2000;Lang, 2007, p. 138).…”
