«Les hommes aussi s'en souviennent» is the book collecting Simone Veil's speech, published by Stock in paperback (111 pages, in French).
The volume collects the speech Simone Veil gave on 26 November 1974 to defend the decriminalisation of abortion in France. The text, addressed to a largely hostile Parliament, is complemented by an interview with Annick Cojean, a journalist at Le Monde, which contextualises it and reflects on its historical legacy.
The cover bears the subtitle «Une loi pour l'Histoire»; it belongs to Stock's «Essais - Documents» collection and was originally published in 2004.
A work for readers of contemporary French history and for those interested in women's rights.
Simone Veil was a French magistrate, Holocaust survivor and politician. Deported as a teenager to Auschwitz-Birkenau and later Bergen-Belsen, she became a prominent advocate for human dignity and European reconciliation. As minister of health, she championed women's rights and is best remembered for the landmark 1975 law legalising abortion, known as the Veil Act.
