Elise Thiebault grew up in a family where children could freely express their opinions and wear what they wanted, and physical punishment was considered unacceptable. Even after the divorce, Elise’s parents maintained a warm, respectful relationship, and it is about respect – for others, for oneself, for one’s body – that Thiebaut will talk about later in his books. The writer defends women's rights and does everything to remove the stigma from “those” topics: discussions of women's health, sex, physiology and physicality.
