French-American icon Josephine Baker will enter le Panthéon on November 30. You may know her as a performer in 1920s Paris, but she was also a member of la Résistance, an antiracist activist, and a mother to 12 adopted children. Follow our writers as they take you through these aspects of her life and discover le château des Milandes, in Dordogne, where she raised her family. Also in this issue, read about the U.S. submarine deal (“un coup dans le dos”) that angered the French president, the fight for reproductive rights in France and the United States, and the Marquis de Lafayette – another French-American icon.
