- 2000, Françoise Gaspard, “Les femmes dans les relations internationales [Women in international relations]”, in Politique étrangère, volume 65, number 3—4, page 731:
- Les femmes ont longtemps été totalement absentes de l'histoire des relations internationales et de la scène diplomatique. A cet égard, le siècle qui s'achève ne marque, au mieux, que l'infléchissement tardif d'un phénomène qui connut, au XIXe siècle, une sorte d'apogée.
- Women have long been totally absent from the history of international relations and from the diplomatic scene. In this regard, the century which now comes to an end merely marks, at best, a belated change from a phenomenon which reached a certain apogee in the nineteenth century.
