Will French Male Chauvenists Prevail- Presidential candidate Royal makes a play for women voters - Anna Willard
Socialist Segolene Royal played up her female credentials on Thursday in a bid to win over women voters.
"The fight for women in France isn't over," Royal said. "But the time for women has come and I hope the French will have the courage to make this bold choice in the presidential election."
More than 30,000 people, including personalities such as actresses Catherine Deneuve and Agnes Jaoui, have signed an online petition this week to denounce what they said was a misogynist campaign against the Socialist candidate. "Everything they say about her, about her voice, her hair, her ear-rings, her syntax, her blunders, her stubbornness, her sense of compassion or her toughness, is said to de-legitimise her," said the petition at www.1milliondefemmessenervent.org.
