Περιγραφή

The extraordinarily powerful memoir by a heroine of our times, whose story inspires change, compassion and courage.

One November day, Gisèle Pelicot was called to a local police station and life as she knew it ended. Her husband of fifty years had been caught by a supermarket guard filming up women’s skirts. But on his computer was shattering evidence: for nearly a decade, he had been secretly drugging and raping her and inviting dozens of strangers into their home to abuse her.

Four years later, he and fifty other men were put on trial and Gisèle’s courage in waiving her right to anonymity made global headlines. ‘Shame must change sides,’ she declared, giving voice and hope to millions. Her words became a rallying cry and her decision marked a turning point in public feeling about sexual violence.

  • Genre: Autobiography / Memoir

  • Tone: A powerful, courageous, and deeply hopeful narrative that transforms personal trauma into a universal symbol of strength.

In this book, you will encounter:

  • The true story of a woman at the center of a shocking landmark legal case.

  • The transformation of a victim into a global icon of resistance and the feminist movement.

  • The fight to strip shame away from the survivor and place it firmly on the perpetrators.

Why we loved it:

  • It is a raw and necessary testimony that breaks the silence surrounding sexual violence.

  • Pelicot’s decision to hold a public trial fundamentally changed how society views such crimes.

  • Despite the pain, the book remains a genuine hymn to life and human dignity.

This book is for you if...

You want to understand the power of a woman’s voice that refuses to hide and chooses to meet darkness with truth and bravery.

Read an excerpt:

«For ten years, I was a woman "sacrificed" on the altar of perversion. But today, I am no longer that woman. I am a woman who has stood up. Shame must change sides. This is all I ask, so that no other woman ever has to feel responsible again for the harm inflicted upon her.

I decided to speak out because silence is the best ally of the attackers. When the walls of my home collapsed, I understood that the truth was my only weapon. I am not writing to be pitied, but to show that even from the wreckage, you can find the strength to build something new.

This book is my answer to the darkness. It is proof that life is stronger than violence. It is a hymn to freedom earned with one's head held high, looking reality in the eye, no matter how harsh it may be.»

A few words for the writer:

Gisèle Pelicot was born in France in 1953 and has become a global symbol of courage and female empowerment. Following the revelation that she was a victim of systematic abuse by her husband and dozens of strangers, Pelicot took the historic step to waive her anonymity and demand a public trial. Her stance has inspired thousands and made her a central figure in the fight against sexual violence. Through her work, she seeks to shift the social perception of shame and provide a voice to those who remain in silence.
