Femmes d'Exception en Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur - Sylvie Reboul

Femmes d'Exception en Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur - Sylvie Reboul

For the first time, a book ventures into the footsteps of women with dazzling destinies. All of them have made their way through Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

Often overlooked, these women were able to impose themselves in a masculine world that offered them little room.
Their journey often leaves you speechless: Hellé Nice, a naked dancer who becomes the fastest racing driver in the world; Germaine Poinso-Chapuis, first woman appointed minister in France; Désirée Clary, who rose to the throne of Sweden and whose descendants still reign today…

Captivating, taken away, these stories paint lives imbued with courage and tenacity. Suzanne Lenglen, nicknamed "the divine", will become the first major international tennis star. Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, a major figure in the resistance, will be the leader of a network of more than 3,000 people. Pierrette Perrin, despite the obstacles, will be elected the greatest earthenware maker of her time.
