Les Cahiers du GRIF

Les Cahiers du GRIF was a French language feminist periodical that examined women's views through kinship, politics, love, sexuality, knowledge, work, and creation.

Les Cahiers du GRIF printed between 1000 and 6000 copies per issue, it rapidly became the most broadcast Belgian journal.

In 1984, Les Cahiers du GRIF was revived by Éditions Tierce, which published 19 more issues until the journal was permanently discontinued in 1994.

Les Cahiers du GRIF explained, argued and structured throughout the issues the neofeminist thought and analyzes.

They explored themes of kinship, love, sexuality, knowledge, creation, body, work (household and professional), family, violence, social security, politics, social conflicts, religion, arts, language ... Les Cahiers du GRIF did not claim a fixed editorial line, but instead tried to gather a wide variety of women's views.

[4] The preparatory meetings for Les Cahiers du GRIF usually brought together around ten women from different philosophical and social backgrounds.

Open to foreign collaborations and less radical movements, original and of very high quality, the journal was de facto aimed at an intellectual audience; it was quickly known and renowned abroad, particularly in French-speaking countries.

Boucquey suggested to Vercheval to dedicate an issue of Les Cahiers du GRIFto women workers.

There are several articles published in Les Cahiers du GRIF where Vercheval gives voice to women workers, highlighting their professional difficulties, inequalities in employment, relationships with men, militancy, crisis, unemployment, revolt, strikes.
