In her often pioneering work, historian Michelle Perrot has continually questioned the fate of those on the margins of our society, giving them a voice to break the silence of history. In her Histoire de chambres (History of Bedrooms), published in 2009, Michelle Perrot speaks in the first person for the first time. She explores the social and intimate role of bedrooms throughout history. Inspired by these reflections, Teri Wehn Damisch paints a "bedroom" portrait of the historian: we enter with Michelle Perrot into the bedrooms of the house in Nohant, where the rebel George Sand, her first heroine, lived. The defining events of her childhood, the awakening of her political consciousness, her daring research, her decisive encounters, her view of feminism: Michelle Perrot immerses us in the episodes that shaped her life as a free woman and placed her among the most influential intellectual figures of our time.
