L’université avec un grand Elles (Women Who Shaped the University)

The University of Lille has launched an initiative called ‘L’Université avec un grand Elle(s)’ (Women Who Shaped the University), which aims to find traces of the long history and importance of women’s presence at the University of Lille in the institution’s archives.

These archives allow us to study the evolution of women’s status at the university by tracing the career paths of female researchers, administrative staff, students, etc., in order to show both the progress made and the relationship the University of Lille has had with its female members over the course of its history.
