introduction and comments by Fabienne Plume. Françoise, who spent a few months at the Beaux-Arts on the eve of the Second World War, retained throughout her life a taste for pictorial expression, which was even her secret garden. Fabienne Plume, teacher and feminist art critic, enthusiastically took up this book which offers a reflection on women who are all the more present in painting when they are absent as creators, supported by presentations and analyzes of works.

Copenhague, Danemark, Karsten Editor

This Almond Satellite, particularly dear to my heart, was reissued by Des Femmes – Antoinette Fouque in 2022. The exploration of the small exoplanet, the philosophical questions of the narrator, the light pen of the author, everything had charmed me in this novel so original. It is therefore with great pleasure that we announce its translation into Danish for 2024. (Alain)

2024: Feminismo o muerte

by | Updated on 13/09/2024 | Published on 03/06/2024 | Bibliographies, Spanish

Verso Libros, 218 pages

Le Féminisme ou la Mort in Spanish is presented as follows:

In this work, originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist Françoise d’Eaubonne analyzes the situation of women around the world and asserts that the feminist struggle is not about equality, but about life and death, for human beings and for the planet. In this vast manifesto, d’Eaubonne for the first time proposes an ecofeminist policy: the patriarchal system acts on women as it acts on nature, destroying everything. Ecofeminism must therefore bring about a new “mutation”, an overthrow not just of male power, but of the power system itself. As Françoise d’Eaubonne herself prophesied, “the planet, put to feminine use, would green up for all”.

2024 : Le donne prima del patriarcato

Back cover:

This text offers a unique perspective on the role of women in history, often downplayed by scholars. Based on an analysis combining archaeological discoveries, anthropology and the study of myths and legends of the ancient world, d’Eaubonne provides us with an astonishing reconstruction of the social weight of women and the struggles that enabled them to play a leading role over the centuries, emphasizing that patriarchy is in no way “natural” or innate: it was imposed only after fierce resistance on the part of the female gender. But the author goes further, pointing out that her political objective is not a society dominated by women, but a non-hegemonic society that sees “the end of patriarchy in all its forms, not just the oppression of women” (Automatic translation).

2024 : Il sessosidio delle streghe

Prospero Editore, Milan, mars 2024

After translating Feminism or Death, Sara Marchesi, collection director at Prospero Editore, decided to make this text by Françoise known in Italy.

The sexocide that Françoise d’Eaubonne talks about in this text, the treatment reserved for “witches” during the hunt that was carried out against them, was only a pretext. It was a perfect trick, suited to the era in which these events took place, to justify the torture and murder of women. Kramer and Sprenger’s Malleus Maleficarum would be treated today as the manifesto of an incel, released on the web a few hours before going to commit his mass murder in a place frequented mainly by women.

2024 : Le Féminisme ou la Mort (pocket)

Paris, Le Passager Clandestin, poket edition, 5 avril 2024

This paperback reissue of the title, published in 2020 by the same editors, comes a month before another must-have, Ecoféminisme Politique by Ariel Saleh, which follows on from it.

Originally published in 1974, this seminal book opens up new perspectives for ecological and feminist struggles, which Françoise tells us are destined to join in the fight against the patriarchy that, in the same movement, subjugates women and destroys the planet.
