Have you read Simone de Beauvoir’s work ? Do you know Audre Lorde? Have you heard of Susan Sontag? Author and screenwriter Julie Gilbert created an audio library of works by female authors to feed our imagination and help us create new references. This stems from a desire to reinforce the female perspective of our heritage into our collective memory.

A collection of first-person narratives and fictional monologues unveil notable figures such as Griséldis Réal, Paulette Nardal, Susan Sontag, Emily Dickenson, Fadwa Souleimane, Marina Tsvetaeva, Isabelle Eberhardt, Catherin Colomb, Agota Kristof.

How do we connect with them? Telephones. Each handset puts us in touch with one of the authors, as if they were calling from beyond

Authors Julie Gilbert, Dorothée Thébert, Marie Fourquet, Florence Minder, Céline Delbecq, Marina Skalova, Karelle Menine and Douna Loup lend their unique writing style to reinvent voices of the past. Actresses Fanny Brunet, Julia Perazzini, Pascale Vachoux, Delphine Wuest, Mélina Martin, Rébecca Balestra, Radhia Chapot-Habbes, Jana Rudenco, Alice Papin and Fanny Pelichet make these voices come alive.
