For the past few days and until November 25, the Bouches-du-Rhône Departmental Archives invite you to discover their new exhibition entitled "Women in History: Women of Bouches-du-Rhône from the Middle Ages to the Present Day." A vibrant tribute to those who illuminated Provence. With more than 100 varied archival documents, this exhibition traces the history of women from the Middle Ages to the present day. Through several portraits of famous and lesser-known women, discover those who have marked history through their influence or their commitment, such as Queen Jeanne, Louise Michel, Simone de Beauvoir, Gisèle Halimi. Suffragettes, witches, politicians, workers... Come explore the many facets of the women of our region in an exhibition accessible to all audiences!
