Sylviane Agacinski-Jospin (French pronunciation: [silvjan aɡazɛ̃ski ʒɔspɛ̃]; born 4 May 1945) is a French philosopher, feminist, author, professor at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS), and wife of Lionel Jospin, former Prime Minister of France. Her theoretical articulation of parity inspired the French law which requires every political party to fill 50 percent of all candidacies in every seat with women.[1]
