Is it a blow to feminist movement in France???

I recently read this newsreport about Rachida Dati, the 43-year-old French minister of justice. According to the news-report she took only a 5-day maternity leave even though she gave birth by caesarean section. France is one of the few nations which accords a long four-month maternity leave. Of course this long leave has been mandated thanks to the feminist movements. Now by not taking the mandated maternity leave, Dati seems to have outraged the feminists who claim that she has "undermined" the cause of women's maternity rights.

I look at it in a different way. By forfeiting her maternity leave Dati has displayed to the world that her first commitment is to the people of France who have bestowed upon the responsibility of being a justice minister.

Another facet of Dati's personality protesting feminists seem to have conveniently ignored is that, this woman is a single mother and a high-achieving one at that.
