Françoise in America

By Vincent

Françoise's son, I'm working with others to make her life and thought better known, and to extend it as far as I can.

The site goes international. An English-language version was quickly added. 35 years after her trip to the USA, Françoise returns.

At the helm are two fellow leading American academics: Danielle Roth-Johnson, head of the Gender and Sexuality Studies department in Las Vegas, who met Françoise in the late ’80s and integrated her work into her teaching cycle, and Ruth A. Hottel, professor emeritus of French at the University of Toledo and translator of Le Féminisme ou la Mort, recently released by Verso Books.

Thanks to this translation and the work on the website, a whole new world is gaining access to Françoise’s thinking. Articles are multiplying in Scandinavian countries, Indonesia, Japan, and surely in many other parts of the world without us even knowing it.

Many thanks to Carolyn Merchant for agreeing to preface the English version of the site, as she has worked tirelessly over the last ten years to bring Françoise to life in translation.

One day, perhaps, a Hispanic version?
