Aline Desjardins is a Quebec journalist and host born in 1934. She first worked at Sherbrooke radio for six years, then joined Radio-Canada in the 1960s. In 1964, she took over from Lizette Gervais to host the now cult daily show Femme d'Aujourd'hui for 13 years, until 1977. During the 3,000 shows, she interviewed women working in different spheres of activity with whom she discussed subjects as varied as literature, women's autonomy, abortion, etc. In the 80s, we find her alongside Gaston L'Heureux to host the popular show Avis de recherche. She then devoted herself to programs on the environment, agriculture and botany.
In 1976, the CBC television show _Femme d'aujourd'hui_ interviewed the American writer and intellectual Susan Sontag (1933-2004), who was then living in Paris. This leading figure of the Western thought in the second half of the 20th century eloquently presented her thoughts and the path that led her to feminism.
