“Délivrées!”: discussions and screenings at the free feminist book fair in Paris

Délivrées! The Feminist Book Fair returns to Paris from November 6–8, 2026, at the Halle des Blancs Manteaux in the Marais. Organized by Femmes Solidaires and Clara magazine, this free-entry event brings together literature, essays, comics, cinema, and live performance to explore women's rights and power dynamics.

The program spans three days of encounters, debates, readings and screenings. On Friday, November 6, Diariatou Kébé presents Les Puissantes, a study of Francophone Black women, while Pascal Picq addresses violence against women. Nesrine Slaoui will discuss L’estime de soi est politique. This opening day also features Angélique Cauchy’s photographic exhibition (é)preuves and the choreographic performance Un corps, des corps, nos corps by Julie Vuoso.

Saturday, November 7 brings together several forms of storytelling. Sandrine Mirza explores the history of women in science, and a panel discussion brings Nelly Sanoussi and Elyssa Bejaoui together to discuss dystopian novels for teenagers. The day also includes a discussion with Romane Bohringer and Clémentine Autain following a screening of Dites-lui que je l’aime, as well as conversations with Sarah Ourahmoune, Giulia Foïs and Sandrine Rousseau.
