"It is not honest, and for many causes, a woman should study and know so many things ..."
It is very surprising that the author, in 1662, "L'Ecole des Femmes", which he argues for access to education for girls, could write ten years later this curious piece charge against the women "learned"!
But is he really gone for Chrysale when this quarrel his wife, too busy to study the planets and enjoy poetry to the affairs of the house? Or the young Clitandre advising women to hide their well whether they want to please men? Molière really thought that the studies were not appropriate to the female gender? Molière a sexist and misogynistic?
We wanted to take another look at this comedy. I have always had great affection for these women learned: Philaminte, Bélise and Armande, who dare to leave the role assigned to women and mad rush with intoxicating energy to spheres of science and knowledge. Surrounded by men attached to the maintenance of the traditional order and are amazed their wives, daughters and sisters to escape, they argue bravely on new paths. Of course, they are wrong sometimes are awkward or exaggerate, but a revolution can it be done without some excesses ...? Would it then have a hidden message of emancipation in full corseted century of Louis XIV?
A good subject for reflection, and then ... what a pleasure to find the inimitable wit of Molière and his profound humanity in this great, wonderful, funny, fierce and touching comedy!
