| Résumé : | This contribution examines how the new feminist movement was received by Catholic women in Belgium. I'm interested in two types of Catholic women's committment : On the one hand, specialised Catholic Action women's organisations, such as the Ligue Ouvrière féminines chrétiennes, founded in the 1920s. On the other hand, women who were part of the institutional Catholic political circles, and would assert themselves as a women's group in the 1970s (such as Femmes PSC, the women's group of the French-speaking Belgian Christian Social Party founded in 1970, and its Flemish counterpart "Vrouw en Maatschappij" founded in 1974). The aim is firstly to highlight their strategies for distinguishing from feminists, but also the way in which Catholic women's movements have been altered by radical feminist movements, changed their positions and embraced new topics, at the same time as the whole social world was also changing, and how they in turn have also altered this radical feminism, in particular by contributing to its institutionalisation. |
