[Janet · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic critical appraisal and introduction to the culture surrounding the women writers of France--there is so much more than just Colette and Simone de Beauvoir and Francoise Sagan... so many of whom I'd never heard of when I first encountered this book, and now are great favorites: Marguerite Yourcenar, Nathalie Sarraute...Marguerite Duras! Francoise Mallet-Joris, Albertine Sarrazin... It's a book that deserves to be back in print, and updated for the women of our own generation.
