'Femen inspired' French stamp causes uproar
Militant feminist organisation Femen, is once again causing a stir in France. But this time it's not one of their topless protests that has provoked outrage, but a new postage stamp, which honours Marianne, the face of the French revolution.
A new stamp emblazoned with the face of Marianne, France's revolutionary symbol, has caused uproar in certain quarters after its creator said it was inspired by a Ukrainian feminist known for topless protests.
The stamp, unveiled by President Francois Hollande on Sunday's national Bastille Day, shows the face of a youthful, dewy-eyed Marianne from the shoulders up, her long hair flowing down and her hand raised.
