Women played a key role in mining communities across France and were often required to do hard, manual labour above and under ground. French history about women focuses on queens, Joan d’Arc and famous writers such as Simone de Beauvoir. While these women worked above ground, there were many nameless women in early history who worked the mines of France to support their families and provide access to minerals such as salt, iron, coal, chalk, gold and more.

France Today ambassador Martha Sessums rounds up the must-see exhibitions and unmissable events for confirmed Francophiles beyond the shores of La Belle France…Direct from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Gustave Caillebotte exhibition arrives in Los Angeles. The collection examines how Caillebotte viewed masculine forms and created portraits of men from a perspective that radiates well today.
