Abstract

Newcomers to politics, women had to impose themselves in this universe, seize a word coded by and for men, play by the rules of an eloquence that was inaccessible to them. This text problematizes the fact that women, especially in politics, have no place in the order of discourse. Insults, systematic interruptions, criticism of their voice – sometimes inaudible, sometimes very high-pitched – are ways of silencing them. Furthermore, we aim at discussing: what eloquence do women mobilize? Do they rely on the rules of a rhetoric invented by men or do they innovate? At the end of our discussion, identifying places of resistance currently articulated, it will be possible to glimpse a reorganization of the places of public speech by female hands: they will rehabilitate high-pitched voices, marginal and marginalized voices, popular accents, regional accents, they will defend the biodiversity of voices. They will remind us that it is also necessary to educate the listening process.
