La Voix des Femmes (English: The Women's Voice) was a Parisian feminist newspaper, and later an organization dedicated to education and the advancement of women's rights. The newspaper was published daily beginning in 1848 with the fall of Louis Philippe and the emergence of the much more lenient French Second Republic. With the initial popularity of the newspaper, it soon became an official association with such prominent members as Jeanne Deroin, Pauline Roland, Eugenie Niboyet and Desirée Gay.
Members of the Voix des Femmes did not question that a woman's role was inherently maternal or domestic. Instead, they tried to use the importance of this role as justification for increased financial security, job security, education, property rights, and women' suffrage.
Louis Napoleon's conservative government proved the end of the Voix des Femmes in 1852, and all feminist efforts in France for decades.
La Voix is a Canadian reality talent show as part of the international television series franchise The Voice, based on the original Dutch version of the program created by John de Mol. The series is part of the The Voice franchise and is based on a similar competition format in The Netherlands entitled The Voice of Holland. The series is structured as three phases: blind auditions, battle rounds and live performance shows.

"La voix" ("The voice") is a song by Swedish singer Malena Ernman, and was the Swedish entry at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Moscow, Russia. It was composed by Fredrik Kempe, with lyrics by both Kempe and Ernman. It is the first Swedish entry to contain lyrics in French.
The song was the winner of Melodifestivalen 2009 on 14 March 2009, and competed for Sweden in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2009 on 12 May 2009. The song qualified for the final round where it finished 21st place with 33 points, making it Sweden's second lowest placing in the Contest since 1992's "I morgon är en annan dag" (#22), and also the second time the country failed to place within the Top 20.
In 2010, the song was covered by Russian pop singer Philipp Kirkorov and opera singer Anna Netrebko with Kirkorov singing verses and Netrebko singing chorus. They recorded two versions of the song, one with original French and English lyrics and other sang exclusively in Russian.
The song has also been used as the backing track for the musical documentary 'Spaceplane Sailing'. The short film covers the 33-mission career of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and was premiered on YouTube in February 2013.
