As far back as the first century BCE, Chinese dynastic historians - all men - began recording the achievements of Chinese women and creating a structure of understanding that would be used to limit and control them. To men, these women became role models for their daughters and wives; to the few literate women readers, they became paradigms for their own behavior. Thus, although these biographies are descriptive by nature, they actually became prescriptive.

La France est inquiète et peine à se projeter vers l'avenir. Le « déclinisme » frappe des pans entiers de la population. Le sentiment d'une perte de sens, d'une absence d'avenir est souvent décrit en termes de crise. Crise économique, politique, crise des institutions, de la famille, de l'École, de l'Église, du système de santé et, au-delà, crise de notre modèle d'intégration républicaine, version française de l'universalisme. Sortir de la crise, plutôt que de retourner au stade antérieur et à des fonctionnements un moment mis en difficulté, ne doit-il pas relever d'une tension vers l'avenir ? Accepter l'idée d'une mutation et d'une entrée dans une ère aux contours encore indéfinis ouvre des perspectives plus que stimulantes. Certes, nous vivons à l'ère du risque et la prévision et la prospective sont difficiles. Pour autant, qu'il s'agisse des institutions, du système politique, de l'Europe, de la démocratie, qu'il s'agisse encore de retrouver une certaine idée de progrès, d'ébaucher des utopies, de produire des grands récits, nous ne sommes pas condamnés, loin de là, à l'impuissance ou au pessimisme généralisé. C'est ce que cet ouvrage démontre à l'envi en redonnant sens et perspective à l'idée d'avenir.
