«Françoise» is the biography of Françoise Giroud written by Laure Adler, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback, in French.
The work traces the career of Françoise Giroud, from her beginnings as a script girl for Jean Renoir to her role as co-founder of L'Express, columnist at Le Nouvel Observateur and Secretary of State for Women's Affairs under Giscard d'Estaing. The narrative covers her political life, her relationships with figures such as Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber and François Mitterrand, and also her darker sides: betrayals, an excessive passion, a suicide attempt or the death of a son. Laure Adler also investigates the possible weight of her mother's last words on the fate of this woman who never obtained her baccalauréat and became a symbol of modernity.
Biography of 490 pages published in 2011. Includes bibliographical references and a bibliography of Françoise Giroud.
For readers interested in the history of French journalism, feminism and the major political figures of the twentieth century in France.
Laure Adler is a French journalist, writer, publisher and radio/TV producer.
