Annie Leclerc

Course

Annie Leclerc asserted itself like a figure of feminism after May 68. She made her secondary studies with the college Marie-Curie, Sceaux and her studies of philosophy to the Sorbonne. She obtained a license in philosophy in 1963. Between 1963 and 1975, Annie Leclerc is professor of philosophy but it puts its career between brackets during four years in order to be devoted to the writing. She again teaches, since 1979, the techniques of expression written and oral with the IUT of Sceaux.

She militates very early for the Liberté of the woman. Taking an active part in another cause, that to offer a dignity to the Captive S, Annie Leclerc notes following the example Michel Foucault the inefficiency of the penitentiary system. It animates workshops of writing in the prisons and fights of all its forces to show the inhumanity of the imprisonment. She wants to give again with the prisoners a pride.

Its success comes with the book Parole from woman who incites the women to take high responsabilities in particular in the business world. It is about one call to the assertion of the female identity.

It was made known also by proclamation, said of the 343 bitches published in Nouvel Observateur in 1971, which it had signed, thus agreeing with the women who stated to have fallen through.

Its thought of a woman who would be developed that it is by the pieces of housework or maternity marginalizes it majority feminist movement of the Seventies. Also its accessory friendship with Simone de Beauvoir lasts only a time because their positions on the feminist question are very different.

More still, it implies in Parole of Woman and Hommes and Femmes that feminism is an idea of male origin which disavows femininity itself. Indeed, it estimates that the devalorization of the domestic tasks reserved for the women with the profit of the virile work useful for the company is a purely male concept, and that activities like preparing the family meal, to deal of the children and the husband, to do the housework are activities as spiritually enriching as work by screwing of bolt on an assembly line. She concludes from it thus that the fight of the feminists to seize the social positions of the men is in fine a sterile on-valorization of this social status which can benefit only the man, and who is made not only with the detriment of the idea that the woman can be done itself (to aspire to any force the same statute that the man ends to go méprisable to his own eyes), but also with the detriment of the whole of its intimate sphere and the family unit only ready to preserve or rebuild the individual compared to the outside world .

Literature

Annie Leclerc never yielded to the commercial requirements editors. Its work counts ten titles, among which: Word of woman (1974), the child and the prisoner (1976), Men and women (1985), Evil of mother (1986), Origins (1988) , Key (1989), Exercises of memory (2000), You Pénélope (2001) and a novel, the Bridge of north (1967). The recurrent theme which one finds in all his work is the " jouissance".
