Gisèle Pelicot, who gained international recognition for her decision to waive anonymity during a legal battle against her husband and dozens of other men in Avignon, France, has seen her memoirs released in multiple languages.

Following her 2024 trial and subsequent recognition by institutions such as the National Order of the Legion of Honour, her life story has been published internationally. In August 2026, the memoir ‘Um hino à vida’ (A Hymn to Life), co-authored with Judith Perrignon, was released in Portuguese. The book provides a first-person account of her life and the discovery that she had been drugged and assaulted by her husband and numerous men recruited online.

In September 2026, the memoirs were released in Croatian under the title ‘Radost života’ (The Joy of Life) by the publishing house Petrine knjige.
