The term "matrimoine", which denotes the cultural heritage passed down by women, is being rehabilitated in the current context of the feminist movement. Initially recognized in the Middle Ages, it disappeared from the French language after the 16th century in favor of "patrimoine". Since 2015, events like the Journées du matrimoine in France aim to highlight the role of women in history and culture. In 2023, several initiatives, including a petition to integrate matrimoine into the European Heritage Days, reflect a shift in perspective. The Wikimedia Foundation has also noted a gender bias in contributions to Wikipedia and encourages equitable representation of women. Christine Bard, a contemporary historian, played a key role in creating the Feminist Archives Center at the University of Angers to preserve women's history and promote the visibility of women's contributions.
