Fanny Bugnon is a lecturer in history and gender studies at the University of Rennes 2. A specialist in women’s and gender history, her work focuses on women’s political participation and the ways in which it took place on the margins of legality: women activists in armed revolutionary organisations in the post-’68 period and women elected before they became political citizens in France. Her work also focuses on the social imaginary of crime and imprisonment. For example, she curated the exhibition ’Présumées coupables’ at the National Archives in Paris (30 November 2016-27 March 2017).
Her publications include Les Amazones de la terreur. Essai sur la violence politique des femmes, de la Fraction armée rouge à Action directe (Payot, 2015); Prolétaires de tous les pays, qui lave vos chaussettes ? Le genre de l’engagement dans les années 68 (ed. with Ludivine Bantigny and Fanny Gallot, PUR, 2017); Les territoires de la violence politique en France, de la fin de la guerre d’Algérie à nos jours (ed. with Isabelle Lacroix, Riveneuve, 2017).
