Winter 2024: FRE 5410/8410 centers on the topic "Feminist Writing: From Christine de Pizaon to Simone de Beauvoir" (in French). Through the exploration of collections of "illustrious women," treatises on equality, novels and tales, and feminist journalism, we will follow the history of arguments about the equality of women and men from the early Renaissance to the twentieth century on the part of female and male writers. Students will discover a vibrant and complex history that reveals that women always had a voice, and that there were always men who supported feminist causes. The course challenges the notion that until the twentieth century, women simply suffered under a monolithic notion of patriarchy, revealing a much more complex and dynamic history of feminism in France.
