Comment

Gaining the right to vote for women in France has been a saga marked by decades of struggle. Initiated after the Second World War, the formal recognition of gender equality in the Constitution in 1944 paved the way. Women voted for the first time in municipal elections in 1945, then in legislative elections in 1948. The parity law of 2000 consolidated this progress, leading to the active participation of women in French political life today. This evolution reflects a precious conquest, the result of a determined struggle for equality and justice.

La Monnaie de Paris unveils a collection of coins commemorating the 80th anniversary of women's right to vote, and more broadly celebrating the progress made towards gender equality. It symbolizes a major milestone in the emancipation of women in France.

Cette évolution reflète une conquête précieuse, résultat d'une lutte déterminée pour l'égalité et la justice.

La Monnaie de Paris dévoile une collection de monnaies commémorant les 80 ans du droit de vote des femmes et célébrant plus largement le chemin parcouru vers l'égalité des sexes. Elle symbolise une étape majeure dans l'émancipation des femmes en France.
