Le roman de Françoise d’Eaubonne

All those who knew Françoise, in sometimes very different contexts, agree: Élise Thiébaut’s book is extremely accurate. Inhabited by Françoise, she achieves a tour de force, confined in the midst of a pandemic. Élise, an eternal thank you.

“My name is Françoise d’Eaubonne and I’ve invented three words that say everything about my life: phallocrat, ecofeminism and sexocide.”

A genius thinker, prolific writer and radical activist, Françoise d’Eaubonne (1920-2005) single-handedly gave shape, from the middle of the 20th century onwards, to all the major principles that run through contemporary feminism. Yet, despite international recognition, she has fallen into oblivion in France’s collective memory.

Under Élise Thiébaut’s pen, the intimate and the political mingle to give flesh to an extraordinary woman. A fascinating, no-holds-barred portrait, more essential than ever, that illuminates both the genius and the most subversive dimensions of this pioneer of eco-feminism. (Traduction with DeepL)
