Les intermittents du foyer ou les arrangements entre membres des couples qui travaillent loin l'un de l'autre: Introduction du N° des Cahiers du Genre coordonné par eux : Les Intermittents du Foyer

Abstract

This article is devoted to women’s entry into the firefighting services. While these services have gradually opened up to women over the last thirty years they have nevertheless not become a “mixed” universe. They remain marked by a male hegemony, even stronger than in the army or the police force. Young women entering this field meet a lot of defensive reactions from their male colleagues. The distribution of different roles follows the hierarchy of gender relations. The job content varies according to the sex. The traditional division of labour between the sexes is reproduced. The power of gender stereotypes appears almost in a crude state. This example makes it possible to measure to what extent women’s entry into a man’s world really cannot be taken for granted.
