In the 1970s, the Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire (LCR) was shaken to the core by the contestations of members of the “second wave” feminist movement. Its activists were involved, on national and local scales, in promoting the figure of the “working woman” within the LCR. They played a role in the fight for the right (free of charge) to abortion and contraception; then in the construction of a unitarian movement—“class struggle”—within the autonomous and non-mixed women’s movement. But due to their double membership, activists disputed the structures and means of functioning of the LCR in contributing to the “demolition of the processes of male domination” present within the organization. In analyzing the relations that existed between the LCR and the feminism that had mainly constructed itself at the national level, taking the example of Toulouse allows us to play the “scales game” in order to compare the spaces of protest.
