Cathy Bernheim (10 April 1946 – 8 April 2025) was a French novelist and an influential feminist activist. She started off the Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (Women's Liberation Movement or MLF). She was also a member of the Gouines Rouges, a radical feminist lesbian movement. She authored many books about feminism and the fight for reproductive rights, and gender equality, and against sexual violence in France. Cathy Bernheim was later an author, speaker, journalist, editor, and activist who translated several works of English feminist literature. Bernheim used art as a means of activism and participated in two exhibitions by activist Delphine Seyrig. The different perspectives she brought as an author challenged traditional gender roles when discussing feminism in France.   Provided by Wikipedia
