This book, which you might think was written by Françoise, is in fact a compilation of texts by Françoise, presented by Caroline Lejeune.
I cannot tell you more because I never received a copy despite having requested one.

Arguing for an approach that would make it possible to reconcile “both the rational and the irrational, the intellect and the instinct”, Françoise opens the way to a process of completeness where hierarchies would finally be abolished, for the good of the humanity, and where pleasure, including sexual pleasure, would be fully honoured. And it is in the richness and depth of this thought still in gestation that this unexpected horizon that we will call ecofeminism is illuminated. (Elise)

THE book that did so much to bring Françoise back, and that her great posthumous friend Elise Thiébaud supports with tireless steadfastness over the years.
Written during the pandemic, Elise was unable to access her archives at IMEC. However, she ordered all Françoise’s available books to read, building up a library of 70 to 80 titles.
The result is a romanticized portrait of Françoise that I feel is extremely accurate, as she has been captured in the essence of her being. As Elise likes to point out, they are connected, and already by their common day of birth, March 12.

Initially published in 1974, this founding book opens up new perspectives for ecological and feminist struggles, which Françoise tells us are called to join in the fight against patriarchy which, in the same movement, subjugates women and destroys the planet.
In this book which gives a nod to René Dumont’s title L’Utopia ou la Mort , Françoise announces what is now a reality: the destruction of the world by productivism and power. Today’s neoliberal capital is only the latest avatar of a multimillennial system, whose historical vision she details in Les Femmes avant le patriarcat.

From the moment men took control of fertility (through agriculture) and fecundity (through reproduction), land and women were exploited according to a productivist logic. For five thousand years, patriarchy has been responsible for ecological disaster and the enslavement of women. The “witch hunt” is yet another episode in this domination which, for two centuries, persecuted and massacred women for the sole fact that they were women and not witches (Source: Incorpore).
