«Femmes de dictateur» is the historical essay by Diane Ducret, published in 2011 by Éd. France loisirs in hardback (356 pages, in French).
In this work, Diane Ducret reconstructs the lives of the women who shared their fate with twentieth-century dictators and shows how love, complicity or silence turned them into witnesses and sometimes accomplices of authoritarian regimes, combining biography and historical chronicle to portray the personal cost of living in the shadow of power.
«Femmes de dictateur» is the first volume of the eponymous series; the original Perrin edition dates from 2010.
Recommended for readers interested in twentieth-century political history, women's biographies and the role of women in authoritarian regimes.
