La Barbe(The Beard) is a French feminist group. It was founded in 2008. It aims at denouncing the absence or under-representation of women in contemporary culture. This includes influence and power dynamics in politics, economics and media. The group emerged during the 2007 French presidential elections. Some advocates of Ségolène Royal were shocked by sexist allusions directed towards her. The group gathered around Marie de Cenival, a former Act UP-Paris activist, gathering women who were not deeply involved in an association or a feminist movement before. In October 2008, "twenty active members, thirty sympathizers" according to Liberation, were members of the group. In March 2010 fifty members were enlisted. The name of the group was a reference to the beard, as symbol of the masculinity, and to the familiar French interjection "La barbe!" meaning "Enough!" More information...
