Solitaires, Solidaires: Conflict and Confluence in Women's Writings in French

Elise Hugueny-Léger (Editor), Caroline Verdier (Editor)

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

Studies included in this bilingual volume focus on the representation of female solidarity and solitude in French and Francophone society, literature, journalism and history, covering texts ranging from the 17th to the 21st century. The various contributions explore how construction of female solidarities and identities has depended not only on networks, dialogues and correspondences, but also (and often simultaneously) on isolation, confrontations and rivalry between women, and on unconventional representations of femininity and motherhood.
