As a researcher, senior lecturer, thesis supervisor, symposium organizer, facilitator of interdisciplinary structures and programmes, initiator of collective publications (Dictionary of Feminists, works), and archives director (“Archives of Feminism”), my work focuses on 5 main historical topics which often intersect: feminisms, anti-feminisms, dress codes, sexualities and archiving/museography. The question of gender is the common denominator, which is a way for me to highlight the political dimension of popular culture. My objects of research are varied, as are the sources I resort to (literature, images, archives, the press). I am also attentive to the way history is written and the relationship between history/memory/literature.

My initial specialization concerns the history of feminist movements in France and more generally, political history, the history of social movements, the history of women in politics. I have remained faithful to this subject, which I defend through the preservation and the valorization of feminist archives. I have also enriched the history of feminism through the study of its counter-movement: the history of antifeminisms and ideological opposition to gender equality. But in particular, I explored the cultural history of gender (social imaginary, material and symbolic culture) through studies on fashion, pants, the skirt, the language of appearances. I find myself more and more oriented towards the history of sexualities through the prism of gender, intimate life stories and literary works that have contributed to myths such as those of the New Woman etc.
