Gisele Pelicot, the French woman whose husband was convicted of inviting dozens of men to rape her unconscious body, has released her memoir, recounting the horrors she endured and why she chose to go public in a trial that shocked the world. "A Hymn to Life" retraces the 2024 mass-rape case that turned Pelicot, 73, into a global symbol in the fight against sexual violence – and which spurred France to revamp its rape law. Explaining her decision to waive her right to anonymity, she wrote: "No one would ever know what they had done to me... No one beyond those involved in the trial would see their faces, look them up and down and wonder how to pick out the rapists among their neighbors and colleagues." |
