Biography

Pisier was born in

Vichy regime and was stationed in Hanoi.[2] Pisier was interned for four years in a Japanese concentration camp after the Japanese invasion of French Indochina.[2] She then moved to Nouméa, where her father was transferred and where her brother Gilles Pisier was born.[2] Her parents subsequently separated, so Évelyne Pisier settled in Nice with her mother and her sister, future actress and director Marie-France Pisier.[1] In 1986 her father committed suicide, and then in 1988 her mother also committed suicide at the age of 64.[2]

In 1964, as a feminist activist involved with the political left, she traveled with other students, including Marcel-Francis Kahn (fr),[3] to Cuba where she started a 4-year relationship with Fidel Castro.[4] She subsequently married Bernard Kouchner, with whom she had three children.

While continuing her activism, Pisier defended her thesis in public law in 1970

Institut d'études politiques.[7]

Pisier subsequently had a second marriage with the French political scientist Olivier Duhamel, with whom she adopted two children; she recounted these experiences in her 2005 book Une question d'âge (A question of age).[2] In 1989, she was named the director of the French Government's Book and Reading Service (fr) within the French Ministry of Culture, with a term lasting until 1993.[8]

In 1994, Pisier became a professor emerita at the

University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne. Pisier died on 9 February 2017 in Sanary-sur-Mer.[1]
