At seventy-one, Gisèle Pelicot discovered the unthinkable: for nearly a decade, her husband had been drugging her and inviting strangers into their home to rape her while she lay unconscious. Fifty-one men would eventually stand trial for their crimes against her. Gisèle could have remained anonymous. Instead, she waived her right to privacy, demanded a public trial, and declared: "Shame must change sides." This is the story of an ordinary woman who survived extraordinary evil—and transformed her trauma into a movement. From her childhood in post-war Germany to her quiet retirement in Provence, from the devastating discovery that shattered her reality to her courageous testimony that captivated France and the world, Gisèle Pelicot refused to be silenced. Her decision sparked rallies across France, ignited global conversations about consent and rape culture, and inspired countless survivors to speak their own truths. She became a symbol of resistance against sexual violence, proving that victims have nothing to be ashamed of—and that one voice speaking truth can change the world. This is the complete story of Gisèle Pelicot: grandmother, survivor, and the woman who insisted that shame belongs to perpetrators, not victims. A testament to courage, resilience, and the power of refusing to stay silent.
