Fille de Pierre et Marie Curie, Eve Curie fut une femme d'action et de conviction. Tour a tour, et avec le meme sens de l'engagement et de l'audace, elle est presente aux cotes de De Gaulle des juin 1940, correspondante de guerre couvrant tous les fronts, de l'Europe, de l'Afrique et de l'Extreme-Orient, simple soldat volontaire des Forces francaises libres, conseillere speciale du secretaire general de l'OTAN, seule femme a occuper, en pleine guerre froide, un poste d'une telle envergure strategique. D'une determination farouche, exercant une veritable fascination sur les medias, elle sillonne le monde avec son mari, l'Americain Henry Labouisse, directeur executif de l'Unicef, et s'engage au service des enfants et dans la lutte contre la faim durant la crise du Biafra. C'est ce parcours d'exception d'une femme de tous les defis, eprise d'action et de liberte, que relate ici Claudine Monteil, en s'appuyant sur de nombreuses archives inedites du fonds Curie. Eve Curie ne fut pas scientifique, mais elle eut l'etoffe d'une heroine pour la defense des libertes. Claudine Monteil, issue d'une famille de scientifiques de grand renom, ancienne diplomate, a occupe plusieurs fonctions en relation avec les Nations unies, notamment aupres de l'Unicef et l'Unesco. En hommage a son pere, mathematicien, medaille Fields et prix Abel, elle a publie chez Odile Jacob un roman policier intitule Complots mathematiques a Princeton.

This volume provides a detailed discussion of the role of women in diplomacy and a global narrative of their current and historical role within it. The last century has seen the Ministries of Foreign Affairs (MFAs) experience seismic shifts in their policies concerning the entry, role and agency of women within their institutional make-up. Despite these changes, and the promise that true gender equality offers to the diplomatic craft, the role of women in the diplomatic sphere continues to remain overlooked, and placed on the fringes of diplomatic scholarship. This volume brings together established scholars and experienced diplomatic practitioners in an attempt to unveil the story of women in diplomacy, in a context which is historical, theoretical and empirical. In line with feminist critical thought, the objective of this volume is to theorize and empirically demonstrate the understanding of diplomacy as a gendered practice and study. The aims of are three-fold: 1) expose and confront the gender of diplomacy; 2) shed light on the historical involvement of women in diplomatic practice in spite of systemic barriers and restrictions, with a focus on critical junctures of diplomatic institutional formation and the diplomatic entitlements which were created for women at these junctures; 3) examine the current state of women in diplomacy and evaluate the rate of progress towards a gender-even playing field on the basis thereof.

'The Face of the Nation' studies women's leadership and gender relations across some of the worst performing and most male-dominated spheres of state - international affairs. Exploring the stories from almost 80 global women leaders, as well as institutional histories and policies across diplomacy, defense, national security, policing, and intelligence, this book seeks to understand why women remain under-represented on the global stage, despite many changing social and policy norms. Using Australia as a leading case study, the book extends theories on gender and international institutions to understand the gendered, racialized, and heteronormative structures that continue to limit and impact on diverse women's leadership and participation internationally.

Breaking Protocol tells the story of the first female ambassadors in US history (1933-1964): Ruth Bryan Owen, Florence Jaffray Harriman, Perle S. Mesta, Eugenie M. Anderson, Clare Boothe Luce, and Frances E. Willis. This is the first group biography of the Big Six, one that places these women in a wider historical context based on deep and broad research in archival sources. It restores these women to their rightful place in history, and it assists the larger project of rendering women in international history visible.
