The French Library is pleased to welcome Céline Bessière and Sibylle Gollac, on tour in the United States with Villa Albertine, to promote the US release of their book The Gender of Capital - How Families Perpetuate Wealth Inequality. They will be in discussion with Michèle Lamont, professor at Harvard University.
Two leading social scientists examine the gender wealth gap in countries with officially egalitarian property law, showing how legal professionals—wittingly and unwittingly—help rich families and men maintain their privilege.
Translation by Juliette Rogers
Our author's talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
In-person event in English.
This event is a part of Villa Albertine’s Authors on Tour program in partnership with Harvard University Press.
