Quotes by Anne Sebba (?)

“On 27 October 1946 the French constitution was finally changed to include among the basic principles of the Republic the law ‘guaranteeing women equal rights to those of men in all spheres’, and the national elections a month later in November were the first in which women in France were able to participate.”
