Content introduction
The conquest of laughter is the revenge of women who have been deprived of the right to education, the right to speak and the right to write for a long time, and it gives women a free land in which they examine society and themselves with sharp eyes.
It used to be a man's prerogative to make people laugh. For a long time, women's laughter has meant madness and loss of control, and laughter and femininity have been opposed in the name of etiquette, beauty and discretion. Sabina Melchior-Bonay sets out to decipher the historical reasons for this taboo and shows how women have gradually acquired the power to make people laugh. It's a long journey that begins with ancient rules of etiquette and ends with today's female one-woman show, where women who allow themselves to be funny, pretty, stupid or vicious are risking making common what has long been forbidden.
