French Women's Writing 1848-1994: Volume 4

by Diana Holmes

A wide range of French women writers are surveyed, including Sand, Colette, Beauvoir and Duras among the canonized, and many marginalized or forgotten and contemporary names not yet widely known outside France. These writers are seen within the political, economic and cultural context of women's lives and how these have changed across a century-and-a-half. Underpinning the whole account is the relationship between gender and language, between politics sexual and textual.
