Le suffrage f\u00e9minin aux \u00c9tats-Unis :
\nlois, pratiques et repr\u00e9sentations (19e-21e si\u00e8cles)<\/p>\n

Les femmes \u00e9tats-uniennes furent pendant longtemps exclues du processus \u00e9lectoral sur la base d\u2019une construction soci\u00e9tale les maintenant dans la sph\u00e8re domestique. Le droit de vote et son exercice furent obtenus \u00e0 l\u2019issue de longs combats qu\u2019elles men\u00e8rent pour acc\u00e9der, non seulement \u00e0 la participation, mais surtout \u00e0 la repr\u00e9sentation du plus grand nombre. L\u2019adoption du 19e amendement en 1920 interdit toute restriction li\u00e9e au genre dans l\u2019acc\u00e8s au suffrage, mais ne marqua pas pour autant la fin d\u2019un long combat pour le droit de vote des femmes. Il fallut ainsi attendre le passage de la loi sur le droit de vote en 1965 pour que les Afro-Am\u00e9ricaines puissent s\u2019inscrire sur les registres des \u00e9lecteurs dans les \u00c9tats du Sud, o\u00f9 des mesures d\u2019exclusion du processus \u00e9lectoral furent mises en place d\u00e8s la fin de la Reconstruction. Si l\u2019h\u00e9ritage politique et les principes d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 des Six Nations am\u00e9rindiennes inspir\u00e8rent les militantes de la premi\u00e8re vague, les femmes autochtones furent marginalis\u00e9es non seulement par leurs cons\u0153urs mais aussi par les institutions locales et f\u00e9d\u00e9rales. Aujourd\u2019hui encore, certaines femmes n\u2019ont pas toujours acc\u00e8s au suffrage en raison de leur appartenance sociale et\/ou ethno-raciale. Les militantes continuent de d\u00e9noncer et de combattre le d\u00e9coupage \u00e9lectoral ainsi que toutes restrictions au droit de vote (vote du dimanche, vote anticip\u00e9, vote par correspondance).
\nCe colloque s\u2019int\u00e9ressera aux luttes men\u00e9es par les femmes r\u00e9clamant l\u2019acc\u00e8s au suffrage universel, ainsi que les obstacles qu\u2019elles durent surmonter pour faire valoir leur droit. Ce droit est indissociable d\u2019un combat f\u00e9ministe dont on pourra envisager les limites dans le cadre des luttes intersectionnelles. Les figures marquantes du suffragisme (Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Harper et Ida B. Wells) sont d\u00e9sormais bien connues gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des \u00e9crits et des discours qui font partie du canon f\u00e9ministe politique, mais la fa\u00e7on dont elles furent trait\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque (soutien ou diabolisation par les affiches ou le dessin de presse par exemple, mais aussi journaux nationaux et magazines dits \u00ab f\u00e9minins \u00bb) pourra faire l\u2019objet de discussions et de comparaisons avec la situation contemporaine.
\nL\u2019entr\u00e9e des femmes en politique fut l\u2019une des cons\u00e9quences du suffrage f\u00e9minin et l\u2019on pourra s\u2019int\u00e9resser \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re dont elles se sont empar\u00e9es du pouvoir des urnes au 20e et 21e si\u00e8cles, ainsi qu\u2019aux programmes et causes d\u00e9fendus par les \u00e9lues, du pacifisme de Jeannette Rankin \u00e0 l\u2019engagement pour l\u2019environnement de Deb Haaland. Le militantisme politique des femmes n\u2019est pas n\u00e9cessairement un choix f\u00e9ministe, comme en atteste la carri\u00e8re de Phyllis Schlafly. Certaines d\u2019entre elles incarnent les politiques conservatrices (Sarah Palin) tandis que d\u2019autres expriment leurs convictions d\u00e9mocrates socialistes (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). Le lien entre f\u00e9minisme et politique pourra \u00eatre interrog\u00e9 \u00e0 la lumi\u00e8re des \u00e9v\u00e9nements historiques r\u00e9cents ou pass\u00e9s de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 mieux comprendre la place des femmes dans les partis politiques mais aussi dans les instances nationales du Congr\u00e8s.
\nEnfin, les participant.e.s pourront interroger l\u2019impact des m\u00e9dias, des arts et de la litt\u00e9rature sur l\u2019image des femmes politiques (Shirley Chisholm, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Sarah Palin\u2026). Ces repr\u00e9sentations ont-elle accompagn\u00e9 ou au contraire stigmatis\u00e9 l\u2019engagement au f\u00e9minin ? Le progr\u00e8s des femmes en politique est-il purement symbolique ou repr\u00e9sentatif du chemin parcouru par les minorit\u00e9s depuis l\u2019obtention du droit de vote ? La mise en sc\u00e8ne de l\u2019histoire des femmes en politique participe-t-elle \u00e0 un effort d\u00e9mocratique ou renforce-t-elle une lecture patriarcale qui invisibilise les femmes ? Dans le contexte actuel o\u00f9 il est question de mettre en place des lois pour limiter la participation \u00e9lectorale des minorit\u00e9s qui penche largement du c\u00f4t\u00e9 d\u00e9mocrate, les contributeur.trice.s pourront s\u2019int\u00e9resser \u00e0 la fa\u00e7on dont ces lois impactent plus particuli\u00e8rement les femmes. Le traitement des \u00e9lectrices mais aussi des \u00e9lues, sous l\u2019angle de la fiction ou de la nonfiction, pourra \u00eatre ainsi envisag\u00e9.
\nDans le contexte des comm\u00e9morations du mouvement (voire des mouvements) pour le droit de vote, leurs grandes \u00e9tapes et personnalit\u00e9s marquantes, des interventions portant sur l\u2019\u00e9volution de l\u2019historiographie et de la mus\u00e9ographie sur le droit de vote f\u00e9minin seront \u00e9galement bienvenues. Elles permettront d\u2019appr\u00e9hender la place faite d\u00e9sormais aux militantes auparavant marginalis\u00e9es ainsi que les modalit\u00e9s de ces r\u00e9\u00e9critures ou expositions et d\u2019appr\u00e9cier les contributions des Sino-Am\u00e9ricaines, des Am\u00e9rindiennes et encore des Latinas.<\/p>\n

\nWomen\u2019s Suffrage in the United States:
\nLaws, Practices and Representations (19th-21st centuries)<\/p>\n

Universit\u00e9 du Mans (3L.AM<\/a>) \/ Universit\u00e9 Toulouse Jean-Jaur\u00e8s (CAS)<\/p>\n

American women were long excluded from the electoral process because societal constructions kept them confined within the domestic real. Actual enfranchisement was obtained after long struggles to achieve not only equal access to voting, but above all representation. While the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920 prohibited all gender-based restrictions on access to suffrage, it did not mark the end of the long struggle for women\u2019s right to vote. It was not until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that African American women were able to register to vote in the Southern states, where exclusion from the electoral process had been in place since the end of the Reconstruction era. Although the political heritage and principles of equality of the Six Nations inspired first-wave activists, Native women were marginalized not only by their fellow citizens but also by local and federal institutions. Even today, some women still do not have access to suffrage because of their social and\/or ethno-racial affiliation. Activists continue to denounce and fight gerrymandering as well as voting restrictions (Sunday voting, early voting, mail-in voting).
\nThis conference will focus on the campaigns and struggles led by women demanding access to universal suffrage, as well as the obstacles they had to overcome to exercise their right to suffrage. This right is inseparable from a feminist struggle, the limits of which will be considered in the context of intersectional struggles. The key figures of women\u2019s suffrage (Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Harper and Ida B. Wells) are now well-known thanks to writings and speeches that have become part of the feminist political canon, but the way they were treated at the time (supported or demonized through posters or press cartoons, for example, but also in national newspapers and so-called \u2018women\u2019s\u2019 magazines) will be discussed and compared with contemporary situations.
\nWomen\u2019s access to the political arena was one of the consequences of women\u2019s suffrage, and we will consider not only how they wielded suffrage in the 20th and 21st centuries, but also what programs and causes were taken up by elected women, from Jeannette Rankin\u2019s pacifism to Deb Haaland\u2019s environmentalist commitment. Women\u2019s political activism is not necessarily a feminist choice, as demonstrated by Phyllis Schlafly\u2019s career. Some of them adopt conservative politics (Sarah Palin) while others express socialist democratic convictions (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). The link between feminism and politics is to be questioned in light of recent or past historical events in order to better understand the place of women in political parties but also in national congressional bodies.
\nFinally, participants are invited to question the impact of the media, art forms and literature on the image of women politicians (Shirley Chisholm, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Sarah Palin…). Have such representations supported or conversely, stigmatized women\u2019s political involvement? Is the progress of women in politics just a token reform or representative of the forward path taken by members of minority groups since the right to vote was obtained? Does the staging of the history of women in politics participate in a democratic effort or does it reinforce a patriarchal perspective that invisibilizes women? In the current context where bills have been proposed to limit minority voter turnout \u2013 largely in favor of the Democratic party \u2013 has become an issue, contributors may wish to consider how these laws impact women in particular. The treatment of both women voters and elected officials, from the perspective of fiction and nonfiction, may be studied.
\nIn a context of commemoration of the movement (or even movements) for women\u2019s suffrage, their major stages and outstanding personalities, presentations on the evolution of the historiography and museography dealing with women\u2019s right to vote will also be welcome. They will allow us to understand the place devoted to previously marginalized women activists as well as the format of these rewritings of history or exhibitions and to truly appreciate the contributions of Chinese-American, Latinx and Native American women.<\/p>\n
