For Father’s Day, here is THE most important value that your father passed on to you

This Sunday, June 16th, It’s Father’s Day. You forgot? Maybe it’s because dads are less celebrated than moms. According to a 2016 study, 64% of French people will wish their father a happy birthday, compared to 79% of mothers. Things may have changed, but we doubt it. In any case, we decided to celebrate fathers in our own way at Madmoizelle. We asked you what was for you the most important value conveyed by your daron. And on the bright side, there are a lot of feminist values.

Our readers told us what they inherited from their father
