She formed an admirable couple with Georges Wolinski. She, flamboyant, brilliant, feminist, liberated. Him, funny, subversive, kindly macho, lover of women. They had met in the 1970s at Journal du Dimanche and had not left each other since. Obviously the murder of Georges was a blow to the heart for her. She came to regret her commitments, her excesses, having recently distanced herself from Charlie Hebdo. But she remained faithful to the memory of Georges, to whom she devoted two books: Georges, si tu savais .. (Le Seuil) in 2011 and a tribute book, Chérie, je va à Charlie (Le Seuil, 2016), after his disappearance. She readily accepted the proposal to name the Point BD Prize after her husband, a great author and great comic book publisher. She had also offered more than 3000 plates and drawings by Georges Wolinski to the National Library of France.
