Christiane Rochefort (17 July 1917 – 24 April 1998)[1] was a French feminist writer. She was born into a left-wing working class Parisian family; her father joined the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War.[2][3] Rochefort worked as a journalist and spent fifteen years as a press attaché to the Cannes Film Festival before publishing her first novel, Le Repos du guerrier (The Warrior's Rest), in 1958. Like several of her later novels, Le Repos du guerrier was a bestseller; in 1962 it was adapted into a popular film directed by Roger Vadim and starring Brigitte Bardot.[1][4] Her novels are divided between social realist satires set in present-day France and utopian or dystopian fantasies.[5] She won the Prix Médicis in 1988. Rochefort's novels also have strong sexual elements.[6]
