Every year, around 125 women are killed in France by their partner or ex-partner - that's one every two and a half days.
Behind these figures, there are lives, faces and dreams.
This book brings together the voices of 125 personalities - artists, writers, journalists, activists - who pay tribute to each of these women victims of feminicide in 2021.
Edited by Sarah Barukh, these sensitive portraits remind us that these women were much more than statistics:
"These women are no longer just a statistic. They had a first name, a laugh, a dream." - Sarah Barukh
Contributors include Odile Vuillemin, Julie Gayet, Leïla Slimani, Marlène Schiappa, Muriel Robin, Rachida Brakni, Géraldine Nakache and many others.
