France, 52 min., 2022. Dir: Manon Aubel
In the 1970s, Françoise d'Eaubonne stood out on the French intellectual scene. At the age of 50, she had already won several literary prizes and published some forty novels and essays, but she remained steadfast in her militant struggle. She was the first to define ecofeminism, denouncing the combined oppression of women and the planet as a consequence of patriarchy. She participated in the actions of the MLF, in the creation of the FHAR (Front Homosexuel d'Action Révolutionnaire) and theorised counter-violence, even going so far as to sabotage the construction of the Fessenheim nuclear power station.
