1992 : Magic potion elections

In the early 1990s, when the rejection of the other, racism, hatred, had more and more right of citizenship in the media and in the public debate, Françoise published in the May 1992 issue of L’ Imbécile de Paris (“journal of humor and opinions forbidden to journalists”) a short article explaining why she had always refused to put a ballot in the ballot box, even to block the emotional plague.

“‘The people give up their power the moment they think they are exercising it.’ It was Sun Yat-Sen who wrote this aphorism after studying the mechanism of French elections, before overthrowing the oldest feudal power in the world, China, in 1911.

1988 : Les Grandes Aventurières

For a long time, the term “adventuress” was reserved for what were known as “demi-mondaines”—that is, women who, viewing marriage as a “wholesale trade,” preferred the “retail trade” to escape a fate of submission and childbearing.

This is not the type of adventuress we’re talking about here. Françoise gives us a dozen portraits of women who, fighting and battling both on land and at sea, forged a name for themselves and a political or military destiny. Others still, a spiritual destiny. Some of these women were the subject of separate books in Françoise’s oeuvre, such as Isabelle Eberhardt (La Couronne de sable) and Antoinette Lix (L’Amazone sombre).
