At the end of the 1950s, Colette Gouvion, a very young journalist and already a mother, joined L'Express, at the time the magazine for all commitments, headed by an indisputable woman Françoise Giroud. She took charge of the "society" section. For women, everything was to clear away contraception, professional training, wage parity, political or social commitments, change in male mentalities.
