Rezensionen
In this provocative book, Imogen Long rises to a number of challenges: she situates French post '68 women intellectual writers in the context of the traditionally male intellectual environment of the twentieth century; even more importantly, she foregrounds the divergences which inform their engagement with key issues and structures of French and Francophone society of the period. By adroitly exploiting the range of writing modes and vehicles employed, this volume demonstrates how a group of feisty women writers questioned not only French society's approach to women, but the very foundations of French society. This book makes a valuable contribution to a reassessment of post '68 French intellectuals.
