A Woman\'s Battles and Transformations is a portrait of the author\'s mother by the acclaimed writer of the international bestsellers The End of Eddy and History of Violence .
It is an exquisite and loving portrait of a mother, and an honoring of her self-discovery and liberation as she chooses to live on her own terms..
It reckons with the cruel systems that govern our lives, with politics and power--and with the possibility of escape.
A Woman\'s Battles and Transformations is Édouard Louis\'s most tender book yet.
She leaves her husband and her old life behind to start anew in Paris.
What happened in those years since the photo was taken? Then, at the age of forty-five, his mother frees herself from this oppression.
Growing up, Édouard knew only his mother\'s sadness, as she found herself trapped in the humdrum life of a housewife, and her struggles against the dominant world of men.
A picture of a happy young woman full of hopes and dreams.
One day, Édouard Louis finds a photograph of his mother from twenty years ago.
