Who is Hélène Feuz?

Hélène Feuz, born on International Women’s Day in 1925, is an emblematic figure of invisibility, a core focus of our investigations. Her life, shaped by the decisions of men, reflects the silent struggles and compromises faced by countless women. From setting aside her dream of becoming a teacher to conform to her brother's wishes, to her unfulfilled desire for children and travel, Hélène's story is one of quiet resilience.

The Hélène Feuz Institute honours her legacy, standing as a testament to the strength and perseverance of women and other invisible individuals whose stories often go untold.
