A Life of Her Own: The Transformation of a Countrywoman in 20th-Century France Paperback - 1992
by Emilie Carles; Robert Destanque; Auriel H. Goldberger (Translator)
Emilie Carles was born in 1900 into the rigidly conservative patriarchal world of a poor and isolated peasant community in the High Alps of France. Her autobiography is the tale of a world that has largely disappeared and of the one that has emerged to take its place. 8 pages of photographs.
Summary
First published in France in 1977, this autobiography vivifies the captivating Carles from her peasant origins in a tiny Alpine village through her work as a teacher, farmer, mother, feminist and political activist.
First line
When I was six death wouldn't have me.
