Adèle Bréau: Gisèle Pelicot Achieved More for French Women Than Macron
Two years after the trial of the 50 rapists of Gisèle Pelicot, the case continues to move France. Author and journalist Adèle Bréau, former editor-in-chief of Elle, believes that Pelicot has achieved more for French women than President Macron has in his entire term. Bréau's book, "Die Stunde der Frauen" (The Hour of Women), will be published in German by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in early September. The book tells the story of her grandmother, Menie Grégoire, who became a star and role model in France in 1967 as a radio host. Grégoire's show "Âllo Menie" allowed female callers to speak about their real-life experiences and problems. More than 100,000 letters from women across France reached Grégoire. The interview with Bréau was conducted by the Freitag, and the article discusses the ongoing impact of the Pelicot case and Bréau's perspective on its significance.
