An erudite and highly enjoyable exploration of the most intriguing of personal spaces, from Greek and Roman antiquity through today The winner of France’s prestigious Prix Femina Essai (2009), this imaginative and captivating book explores the many dimensions of the room in which we spend so much of our lives—the bedroom. Eminent cultural historian Michelle Perrot traces the evolution of the bedroom from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans to today, examining its myriad forms and functions, from royal king’s chamber to child’s sleeping quarters to lovers’ trysting place to monk’s cell. The history of women, so eager for a room of their own, and that of prisons, where the principal cause of suffering is the lack of privacy, is interwoven with a reflection on secrecy, walls, the night and its mysteries. Drawing from a wide range of sources, including architectural and design treatises, private journals, novels, memoirs, and correspondences, Perrot’s engaging book follows the many roads that lead to the bedroom—birth, sex, illness, death—in its endeavor to expose the most intimate, nocturnal side of human history.

Castillo, Eduardo

GRASSET

Les deux auteurs de ce magnifique projet retraçant L'Histoire des Femmes, explorent dans ce deuxième tome l'évolution de leur statut social, juridique mais également symbolique dans le monde occidental au Moyen-Âge. 
" Ces femmes du Moyen-Âge, à qui maîtres, époux et censeurs dénient la parole avec tant de constance, ont finalement laissé plus de textes et d'échos de leur dire que de traces proprement matérielles. Le millénaire que couvre ce volume laisse, vers son début et vers sa fin, passer, un peu plus assurée, la parole même des femmes, bien qu'il faille tendre l'oreille pour la saisir, assourdie, dans le brouhaha immense du choeur des hommes. Leur discours, leurs témoignages ou leur cri, nous permettent simplement de percevoir comment ont mûri en elles les modèles que directeurs de conscience ou maîtres du savoir leur imposaient, les images que les hommes leur renvoyaient d'elles-mêmes, parfois leur refus de cette vision déformée, et toujours la manière dont ces "images" se sont inscrites dans leur vie et leur chair. L'histoire tout court a tout à gagner à prendre en compte sa part féminine. " Christiane Klapisch-Zuber
