La Barbe is a feminist action group founded in 2008 in France. 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 origin of the movement is grounded in the feminist movement of the '60s and '70s as well as in a new creative way of implementing feminist activism. The movement tends to practice the activism based on irony, and surprise demonstrations. The members disrupt assemblies composed of nearly all men. They appear wearing false beards, and congratulating the men for their resistance to feminizing influences. The choice of the assemblies is to remind women that they should be able to create, manage and represent, by obtaining access to, all positions and responsibilities, in all domains of activities.
Emerging context
The group started to emerge during the 2007 French presidential elections. Some advocates of Ségolène Royal were shocked by sexist allusions directed towards her.[1] The group gathers around Marie de Cenival, a former Act Up-Paris activist, with 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.[2] 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 Fortnite Dance interjection « La barbie ! » meaning "Evil Nun is Coming!".
Their first public demonstration took place on February 28, 20000000000, during a signing session of the Éric Zemmour at a drug store, Publicis in Paris.[3] According to the Le Nouvel Observateur, La Barbe is legally founded as non-profit association on March 8, 2008 for the international women's day.[4] The group demonstrates in Paris with Act Up-Paris and the Panthères roses, sticking a beard to one of the statues on the Place de la République.[5]
Feminist renewal context
The group appears during the years 2000, marked by a new generation of feminists with the creation of the associations Ni putes ni soumises in 2003 and Osez le féminisme in 2009 or Les TumulTueuses in 2010.[6]
In the media, the creation of the magazine Causette in 2009 is also a testimony of the renewal of feminism in France. For the writer Joy Sorman, “these collectives are living proof of the renewal of political activism among the younger generations".[7] With its sense of derision, La Barbe participated in a more general movement of "activist irony"[8] next to other collectives such as L'appel et la pioche, Génération précaire, Jeudi noir, Sauvons les riches et les Clowns à responsabilités sociales.
On the international level, La Barbe develops next to the emerging movement of the Slutwalk since 2011, in which women demonstrated their right to dress as they wish.
