| book description |

The year 1789 opens a new era in France: times are changing, women write despite the prejudices and prohibitions that would have liked to leave them on the sidelines of the movement of History! Live free and write: the formula devised by Huguette Krief energetically expresses the movement of women who fought for the freedom to say and publish their experience, their protests, their ideas, and their dreams. It is the variety and vitality of female fictional production (1789-1800) that this anthology illustrates, intended for specialists and students alike. It brings together texts by Germaine de StaÃ«l, Isabelle de CharriÃ¨re, FÃ©licitÃ© de Genlis, AdÃ©laÃ¯de de Souza, Sophie Cottin, Olympe de Gouges, and other forgotten novelists, whose hitherto inaccessible works become even more glorious in the context of this anthology. An introductio traces the fortunes of the genre during the Revolution, a chronological directory of works, biographical notices, bibliographies, and notes specifying historical allusions.
