Résumé anglais Philippe Besnard : Durkheim vs. women or the incomplete Suicide. The strange and contradictory interpretations given by Durkheim of the female suicide ? women are excluded from the anomie theory ? are related to the fact that his theory of suicide is uncompleted. In particular they are at the origin of the change in the intellectual frame of reference which occurs in Suicide, an equilibrium model taking the place of a happy medium model. This also explains why Durkheim paid so little attention to « fatalistic suicide ». A reexamination of the durkheimian analysis concerning the influence of marriage and family on suicide shows that Durkheim had at his disposal the necessary data to support a consistent theory of suicide that he progressively abandonned and eventually rejected.
