Over the past two years, since the events in Tunisia which lead to a growing movement towards what many hoped would be more democratic societies, women who have been at the forefront of these movements are now finding themselves left out of the process of creating new constitutions.

In an interview Tuesday, NYTimes. For generations of Americans travelling to Europe before, during and after the two world wars, swapping the competitive, tight-laced rigours of the materialist, capitalist, God-fearing USA for the sophisticated languor, louche-ness and chic of the French capital, the Herald reported, reflected and symbolised the quintessential experience of embracing foreignness, and specifically Frenchness.
It provided a link with home while reminding the expatriate of his or her daring plunge into the unknown, slightly dangerous culture of the Old World. And it became the newspaper of glittering record for what Gertrude Stein, perhaps the original "American in Paris", dubbed " la generation perdue ", the lost generation, which hailed from America's Gilded Age and came into its own during the first world war.
Years later, in , Hemingway was still propping up the bar at the Paris Ritz, where he was discovered drinking bloody marys by the Herald's humorist, Art Buchwald. Hemingway denied a report that he had consumed 15 martinis in 45 minutes at the Dome cafe in Montparnasse. The great man told Buchwald: "First of all, I'd never do such a silly thing, and secondly, I'd like to see anybody drink a dry martini at the Dome. The exchange was reproduced in a special supplement published on Monday by the International Herald Tribune IHT to mark its last day of publication under that name.
From Tuesday it will be marketed as the International New York Times, reflecting its present ownership and, presumably, the New York title's desire to project itself as a more recognisable global brand.
Buchwald's anecdotes aside, the supplement unearths old opinion and editorial pieces, historic news reports and front pages, fashion shocks, scientific breakthroughs and fusty photographs of mostly forgotten icons and tyrants, and reprints several of the paper's consistently unfunny cartoons. Like newspapers in the digital age, the transplanted paper was made possible by revolutionary technological advances, including more efficient printing methods and improved communications stemming from the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cables in At the same time, according to Charles Robertson, author of a history of the paper, new audiences were being created by the rapid development of steamship travel and the advent of a new class of wealthy Americans eager to discover the Europe of their forebears.
In an editorial for the last edition, the IHT's Serge Schmemann argues bravely that the rebranded paper will remain vital and relevant because "we still need trusted reporters and editors to sort out the vast waves of information sweeping this chaotic world of ours. We need those first rough drafts, the smart commentary, the impartial news, to function in these times. Not everything was smart, of course.
To its credit, the IHT reproduces a May editorial that bemoans the lack of a strong fascist movement in America.
