This article investigates the genealogy of the gender "parity" claim, which appeared in France at the beginning of the 1990s. It explores the efforts made by women's groups to increase the presence of women in elected assemblies since the emergence of a Second wave feminism (in the early 1970s), focusing on the 1980s - which was a period of latency for the women's movement. The article distinguishes three phases: in the first half of the 1970s, the French Second wave women's movement, which defined itself as mainly radical, was reluctant to play the game of formal political representation. The issue of the representation of women was only raised by a few, symbolically dominated fractions of the women's movement (party women and traditional female organizations representatives). From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, a few women's groups at the meeting point between Second wave feminism and electoral politics began to raise the issue of female representation in politics. Finally, the second half of the 1980s witnessed the construction, both in international organizations and in French academic circles, of a new body of feminist expertise with regards to the issue of political power. The article concludes that the new collective action frame of "parity" was elaborated at the meeting point of these three currents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
