explanations

Currently in full promotion for her new album French Touch, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has long entrusted to the american website Refinery 29 about her, her marriage, and its relationship to feminism. “Yes, I am a feminist but I don’t wear it on a t-shirt, ” she explained.

In 2012, in an interview with the magazine She Carla Bruni had declared that she ” was not at all a feminist activist “. A position as the wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy had then promptly called it ” very awkward “. Five years have passed since the media storm that had caused this declaration, and the singer of 49 years comes to detail, the american website Refinery 29, his vision of the struggles for the rights of women. She explains : “Yes, I am a feminist, but not only by wearing a t-shirt “.

And then to discuss the major issues behind this struggle for gender equality : “I come from that era where women fought for the right to take the pill, where these women gave us the right to own her own body. I grew up in the 1970s, there was a great wave of radical feminist. To me, describe themselves as a feminist was to assume this responsibility. ”

This finding, the former first lady assures us : “today, it is even more important to fight and be radical “. And thicken his speech by taking as an example the Women’s March in January, where at least 500,000 people had demonstrated to protest the inauguration of Trump. “Imagine that there’s a woman from Russia, India, China or an arab country, and that she looks at the pictures of this women’s walking. The United States is the largest democracy in the world, even if everything is not perfect, the women there still have the power to inspire all women around the world “, she concluded.
