Contre-violence is an eclectic, fast-paced work combining poems, political texts, articles published in feminist magazines, open letters, newspaper collages, leaflets… In this essay, Françoise d’Eaubonne refuses to condemn the use of violence a priori on moral grounds, enabling her to consider the broad spectrum of violence and its consequences, without dogmatism.

She does not end up with a compromise position, true to herself, but pleads for mutual respect for tactics and strategic choices. Having experienced and put into action acts of counter-violence, and knowing the costs involved, she is driven here by an ethical concern for the use of violence. Favoring a counter-violence that does not attack the living, she is also vigilant about contained violence, so that this violence is never transformed into revenge, individual venting, enjoyment and, ultimately, the seizure of power; so that “women’s power becomes non-power”, always at the service of diversity and the multiple (Pauline).

Écologie/féminisme : révolution ou mutation ? Takes up the main eco-feminist theses that Françoise d’Eaubonne has been developing since the beginning of the 1970s, to bring them to a point of incandescence in this work with a largely prophetic and apocalyptic tone. She sets out her conviction that it is useless to continue to think about the future in the light of eroded political analyses: the revolutionary imagination has revealed its flaws from the history of the French Revolution to that of socialism. Since 1972, she has asserted that we must move on to a mutational imagination: everything must change. Because patriarchy is, according to her, the first historical cause of all social and environmental dysfunctions, because the “masculine” ideology is an exploitative and devastating ideology, feminism and the ecological struggle are the last ramparts against the environmental apocalypse that is in the making.
