In the 1970s, Françoise d’Eaubonne stood out in the French intellectual landscape. At the age of 50, she had already won several literary prizes and published around forty novels and essays, but she resumed her militant fight with renewed vigor. She was the first to define ecofeminism, denouncing the common oppression of women and the planet as a consequence of patriarchy. She participated in the actions of the MLF, in the creation of the FHAR (homosexual front for revolutionary action) and theorized counter-violence, going so far as to sabotage the construction site of the Fessenheim nuclear power plant.
This film presents unpublished documents for the first time. Drawing freely on the manuscripts and photographic archives that she bequeathed to the Institut Mémoire de l’Edition contemporaine, her relatives and researchers, historians, and editors comment on the resonance of her feminist and ecological legacy.
With the participation of Marie-Jo Bonnet, Isabelle Cambourakis, Caroline Golblum, Elise Thiébaut, David Dufresne, Alain Lezongar and Vincent d’Eaubonne.
