Voices, Resistance, and Legacies
Since centuries, women have been writing, translating, and teaching, but their voices have often been silenced or pushed to the second place.
From the pen of George Sand to that of Simone de Beauvoir, women's literature today stands as an essential critical, poetic, and political forces.
Writing as an Act of Resistance
Writing has often been, for women, an act of freedom and protest. These women writers were not just seeking to be read, but to make their voices heard.
From Science to Literature
Lise Meitner perfectly illustrates women's struggle for intellectual recognition. No matter the field, women are far too often pushed into the background.
Meitner's story, erased from the Nobel Prize despite her key role in the discovery of nuclear fission3, echoes the silenced voices of countless women whose works are often credited to men.
"I don't want to be seen as a victim. What matters is scientific truth."
—Lise Meitner
Contemporary Voices
Today, women writers are fully taking their place in the world of literature.
Leïla Slimani, Annie Ernaux, and many others are breaking the rules, questioning power, and restoring literature's universal reach.
