CGiii Comment

Appearing on French television with Simone de Beauvoir in 1985, Christine Delphy recalled a time when « I began every sentence with, “I’m not a feminist, but…” » reluctant to invoke a stigmatized term, yet nevertheless daring to express a desire for equality. This intimate documentary is a portrait of the openly lesbian theorist Christine Delphy. It traces Delphy’s growth into a major leader of French feminism: from childhood awareness of inequality and her work in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, to her roles as a co-founder of the Women’s Liberation Movement in France and as one of feminism’s leading theorists, the pioneer of material feminism.

"Je ne suis pas féministe, mais..." retrace l'histoire d'une des fondatrices du MLF, initiatrice du manifeste des 343 (pour la liberté de l'avortement) et théoricienne du féminisme: Christine Delphy.
