For a fortnight, Madame Figaro makes us discover the that famous people like to give away. Camélia Jordana, actress, songwriter and performer, explains why she often chooses Present by Lauren Bastide.

“This reading changed my outlook on the world, which is no small thing! This feminist manifesto moved me because the author, Lauren Bastide, establishes a real closeness with the reader and as she was a journalist, she has a very didactic way of explaining things. What she tells us in Present is so documented, proven and supported that it becomes implacable. Part of his speech returns to male domination, but in particular to that which is so anchored in our lives that we forget it. With concrete examples, she makes us understand that as women, we live in a world built by men for men.

After reading PresentI observed the exchanges between men and women with a new perspective. This book allows you to question yourself and open doors within yourself that you didn't even know existed. Whether we agree or not with what Lauren Bastide tells us, it fuels an essential debate of our time. I cried my eyes out when I closed it and I often take it on trips with me because it soothes me and inspires me when I write. He gave me incredible strength and made me say: “This is the state of things. Now we have to move forward and where do we start?”

Present by Lauren Bastide, Ed. Allary, 272 pages., €19.90.
