| biography:
| French academic, journalist, essayist, and novelist, born in Algiers, Algeria. She studied at the Lycée Bugeaud in Algiers, moved to France in 1955, and began teaching. In 1965 she became an assistant lecturer at the Sorbonne, and took an active part in the student uprisings of 1968. She later became professor of English at Vincennes, where she established experimental literature courses. Her work is mostly concerned with the relationship between psychoanalysis and language, especially in its significance for women. Family relations inspired her novel Les Commencements (1970), and feminism is the central theme in Prométhéa (1983) and L'Auge au secret (1991). In 1969 she received the Prix Médicio for Dedans. |
