Ecritures de Femmes
Nouvelles Cartographies

This anthology of writings in French by 20th-century women comprises poems, short stories, essays, memoirs and novels (some complete and others excerpts). It considers relationships and how violence breaks them apart, and how identity is influenced by race, language, nationality and sexuality.

This rich anthology of contemporary writing by women throughout the French-speaking world is filled with literary treasures. Selected poems, short stories, essays, memoirs, and novels-some complete and others excerpted-explore issues of universal interest from women's perspectives: relationships, violence, and the influences of race, language, nationality, and sexuality on identity. "Unique and timely. I could not conceive of a better way to introduce undergraduate students to the diversity of French and Francophone literatures." -Fran?oise Lionnet, Northwestern University
