La plus belle histoire des femmes : The Most Beautiful Story of Women
by Nicole Bacharan, Françoise Héritier, Michelle Perrot, Sylviane Agacinski, (éditions du Seuil)
A great novel of the feminine condition through the centuries, told by four exceptional women;
Being a woman? How to live as a woman on the planet of men? Every epoch has provided a different answer. The assumption, however, is always the same: this gender is weak, “second”, inferior, subordinated.
In an audacious dialogue which undermines many received ideas, four exceptional women tell the story of the feminine condition without taboos or jargon. What they reveal in this book is the extraordinary struggle against the established order – moral, social and sexual – imposed by generations of kings, priests, fathers, husbands, a long march which is far from over. In today’s society, in the heart of the family, the couples, in the intimacy of the bed, are we as devoid of the old prejudices as we pretend we are?
Nicole Bacharan is a historian and political scientist, author of about 15 books, specialist of the United States. She is interviewed regularly on a number of Radio and TV channels in Europe and the United States.
Co-authors: Françoise Héritier, anthropologist, honorary professor at the Collège de France, author of Masculin-Féminin; Michelle Perrot, historian, specialist of the history of women, co-author of L’Histoire des femmes en Occident; Sylviane Agacinski, philosopher, author of La métaphysique des sexes.
