difficult access to knowledge or scientific disciplines. She also explored the reasons and mechanisms that have allowed this exclusion of women from the technical sphere. She was shocked by the brutality of her findings and was initially hesitant to broach the subject of reproduction. She worked for two years on the limits of women's intellectual work, but then she decided to undertake research on reproduction, which she perceived as a central issue. This resulted in the publication of the article Fertilité naturelle, reproduction forcée in 1985. The results of her research on reproduction constituted a starting point for a reflection on the social division between good women (wives, mothers) and stigmatized women (whores, women of pleasure), and on the social construction of women's sexuality. She began her work on what he designates as economic-sexual exchanges. After the publication of the article Du don au tarif: les relations sexuelles impliquant une compensationnel of 1987, she undertook research on racism, based in particular on Colette Guillaumin's theses on the links between sexism and racism. She researched the responses of 8,000 elementary school children in Italy who were asked to reflect on the hypothesis "What if my parents were black?". The result of this research led to the publication of the book The Right Skin in 1997. She worked with Jeanne Favret-Saada, Josée Contreras, Nicole Échard, Gail Pheterson, and The Questions féministes magazine group.
