This memory analyses the broadcasts of 2000 years of history, by Patrice Gélinet broadcast on France Inter between 1999 and 2011, which relate to women’s history from the beginning of the third Republic to the contemporary period. Their relationship to power is questioned. The analysis presents different power and dominance ratios. These include the historical confusion of women and mothers who have assigned women to maternity and private life. Many 2000-year programmes of history emphasise this aspect. The reports also reveal the importance of biopolitics, which is an ongoing control of women’s bodies. Finally, the release and empowerment of women is widely addressed, in particular through the portrait of “great women” who have made history, such as Simone de Beausee, Gisèle Halimi, Simone Veil... The conditions governing the production of the broadcasts, their sequences and the choices made to present them are also being studied, in order to deconstruct the way in which women’s history in this programme is discussed. This memory reveals a history where women are not only victims and conquered the possibility of gaining access to power, but it highlights the length of the journey made before achieving such empowerment.
