Title : Françoise - Laure Adler - book
What if Françoise Giroud were even greater than her legend? Richer, more complex, more interesting than the popular image of the talented young woman who became the leading journalist of her time?
We know the trajectory: hired by Hélène Lazareff at the creation of Elle , then co-founder of L'Express , and finally columnist at Nouvel Observateur , the former script-girl of Jean Renoir had a way with killer phrases: the mark under the charming smile. Companion and accomplice of Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, fierce opponent of the Algerian War, faithful friend of Mendès France and Mitterrand, the one who "invented" the New Wave and drove a convertible was a great lover, loving pleasure as much as duty. A politician, this daughter of Turkish immigrants never passed her baccalaureate, but became Secretary of State for the Status of Women under Giscard d'Estaing. A hard worker, devilishly elegant, in love with freedom, she was a visionary, who embodied the birth of the modern woman.
But here we discover that this passionate temperament also has its dark sides - the experience of betrayal, a fit of passionate madness, a suicide attempt, the death of a son... What if a sentence from his mother, on her deathbed, had determined his trajectory and his destiny?
Through the portrait of an exceptional woman, Laure Adler brings back to life a fiery era: a time, not so long ago, when people still knew how to fight for ideals.
