In this book, the author argues that women writers were the originators of the modern novel in France. This book gives readers of those novels an understanding of the subversive tradition in which they were created. The author portrays the involvement of women writers in the body politic and in the politics of the body as their struggle for increased control over the plots of their lives and fictions.
