In 1963, Annie Ernaux, twenty-three and unattached, realizes she is pregnant. Shame arises in her like a plague: Understanding that her pregnancy will mark her and her family as social failures, she knows she cannot keep the child. In a France where abortion was illegal, she attempted, in vain, to self-administer the abortion with a knitting needle. Fearful and desperate, she finally located an abortionist and ended up in a hospital emergency ward where she nearly died. In Happening, Ernaux sifts through her memories and her journal entries dating from those days. Clearly, cleanly, she gleans the meanings of her experience.

Conocer la historia de otras mujeres es conocer la historia de todas las mujeres y así al leer el relato de su experiencia entendemos lo que ha significado para las mujeres la aprobación del aborto libre y seguro, del acceso a los métodos anticonceptivos y como la vida de las mujeres ha cambiado La escritura sincera frontal y puntual de Annie Earnaux te hace conectar rápidamente con su historia, así como con el momento histórico
