Camille Froidevaux-Metterie (born November 18, 1968) is a researcher and professor of political science. Her work focuses on the transformations of the female condition in the contemporary era, in a phenomenological perspective that places the question of the body at the center of the reflection. Her work also focuses on women's reappropriation of their bodies as expressed in recent feminist movements dealing with issues related to intimacy and female genitality (notably the Harvey Weinstein affair and the MeToo movement). In 2017, she was awarded the Chevalier de l'ordre national du Mérite. Her work has been developed in continuity of the feminist philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir and Iris Marion Young.
