Maternité et travail sous l’œil de la Télévision suisse romande des années 1970 : émergence d’un regard critique

Abstract

During the 1970s, the Swiss francophone television produced several in-depth programmes on the subject of women’s work. Echoing parallel political initiatives, these programmes adopted a critical stance and presented the subject as a matter of public interest. Among the testimonies used, those of single mothers highlight the daily difficulties faced by women who have to work, in a labour market that remains marked by obvious disparities and significant gaps in terms of social protection.
