This paper provides feedback on the protest movement against the law of multi-year research programming (LPPR), as seen by six female activists from the National Mobilisation Committee of the French academic labour movement “Facs et Labos en Lutte” (“Faculties and Laboratories in Struggle”). Building on an analysis of practices and experiences in organisation and mobilisation, it aims to portray how a feminist dynamic unfolded and endured within the movement. The text aims to draw attention to an often-overlooked aspect of this social movement, in order to leave a legacy that may be useful for future political struggles.
