Les Grandes oubliées - Pourquoi l'Histoire a effacé les femmes de Titiou Lecoq

• dimanche, 26 juillet

• 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

• Virtual Meeting en français via Zoom - For Zoom meeting details or additional information, please email virginieperezwoods@ou.edu

• De tout temps, les femmes ont agi. Elles ont régné, écrit, milité, créé, combattu, crié parfois. Et pourtant elles sont pour la plupart absentes des manuels d'histoire.

• Pourquoi ce grand oubli ? De l'âge des cavernes jusqu'à nos jours, Titiou Lecoq s'appuie sur les découvertes les plus récentes pour analyser les mécanismes de cette vision biaisée de l'Histoire. Elle redonne vie à des visages effacés, raconte ces invisibles, si nombreuses, qui ont modifié le monde. Pédagogue, mordante, irrésistible, avec elle tout s'éclaire. Les femmes ne se sont jamais tues. Ce livre leur redonne leurs voix.

French Film Le Million – Saturday Classics at OKCMOA

• When an impoverished artist misplaces a winning lottery ticket, it sparks a madcap race across a fairy-tale Paris in René Clair’s enthralling, profoundly influential 1931 musical comedy. Le Million screens in a recent 4K restoration as part of Museum Films’ Saturday Classics series.

• In French with English subtitles. (81 minutes)

• “An impoverished artist discovers he has purchased a winning lottery ticket at the very moment his creditors come to collect. The only problem is, the ticket is in the pocket of his coat. . . which he left at his girlfriend’s apartment. . . who gave the coat to a man hiding from the police. . . who sells the coat to an opera singer who uses it during a performance. By turns charming and inventive, René Clair’s lyrical masterpiece had a profound impact on not only the Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplin, but on the American musical as a whole.” -Janus Films

Honoring the Memory of
Desa Dawson

The Alliance Française d'Oklahoma City mourns the passing of Desa Dawson, a tireless champion of world languages, a devoted educator, and a foundational leader who helped establish the endowment for the Franco-American educational exchange program in Oklahoma.

The French government recognized her contributions by naming her Chevalier de l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques, one of France's most distinguished honors for service to education and culture.

We extend our deepest condolences to Desa's family, friends, students, and to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The endowment she helped create will endure. The program she helped build will continue to thrive. And the relationships she made possible will deepen with each new generation of scholars. That is Desa’s legacy — lasting, far-reaching, and profoundly meaningful.

Rest in peace, dear friend.

Rest in peace, dear friend.
