While women in France were not welcomed in the literary
sphere, they have nonetheless participated in the various
movements that have radically affected literature from the
XVIIth century on. The purpose of this course is to discuss
women's space within the literary field. Through the study
of various text, this course will examine women's compliance
and defiance towards literary trends. It will also
investigate the various roles of literary categories
(letters, plays, fairy tales, poems, novels and essays) in
women's production.
