This observation sums up what the British author develops in the rest of her essay: the conditions limiting women&#8217;s access to the literary field throughout history. Deprived of financial autonomy and a room &#8211; or a place &#8211; of their own, in other words, of time and availability of spirit, women could not devote themselves to writing or creation. And for those who did, it was often a struggle. Admittedly, times have changed, and today&#8217;s women no longer face as many obstacles as <a href=\"https:\/\/renouvaud1.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/41BCULAUSA_LIB\/mfpbkt\/alma991021676566702852\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">George Sand<\/a> did in the <sup>19th<\/sup> century or the <a href=\"https:\/\/renouvaud1.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/41BCULAUSA_LIB\/mfpbkt\/alma991011480819702852\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greek poetess Sappho<\/a> did two and a half thousand years ago. But as in other areas of social and political life, there is still a long way to go for women writers.

In several of her texts, Alice Rivaz \u201cstages the slow progression of women towards a new, full and subversive participation in the practical, political and symbolic aspects of human life\u201d. Crossing geographical borders and temporal barriers, the eight sessions of the \u201cWomen in Literature\u201d public course are designed to reveal this \u201cslow progression\u201d and to trace and clarify the contours of plural and diverse literary histories, all marked by the presence-absence of women.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Sappho to Rosie Pinhas-Delpuech<\/h2>\n\n<p>In many respects, the Lesbian poetess Sappho (<sup>7th-6th<\/sup> centuries B.C.) is the pioneer of women&#8217;s literature.

Women translators have played &#8211; and continue to play &#8211; an essential role in the transmission and mediation of literature, and several of the lectures in the public course will seek to demonstrate this.

A cultural history <\/em>  (2020)<\/a><em>.<\/em> To date, this is the most comprehensive French-language academic survey of the presence of women in literature, from the Middle Ages to the <sup>21st<\/sup> century. It was directed by Martine Reid, professor emeritus at the University of Lille, who will give a lecture in the Aula of the Palais de Rumine on October 13, 2021: &#8220;Une femme qui \u00e9crit&#8221; : quelques observations sur les femmes en litt\u00e9rature&#8221;. She herself, borrowing an expression from George Sand, seems to prefer the expression &#8220;femme qui \u00e9crit&#8221; (woman who writes) to &#8220;\u00e9crivaine&#8221; or &#8220;autrice&#8221; (writer), and to the separation induced by the connector &#8220;et&#8221; in &#8220;femmes et litt\u00e9rature&#8221; (women and literature) to the inclusion of &#8220;en&#8221; in &#8220;femmes en litt\u00e9rature&#8221; (women in literature). The aim is to embrace in a single gesture texts by women and texts about women, women in texts and at the origin of texts. It&#8217;s also about breaking free from a narrow conception <em>of<\/em> literature to consider <em>literatures<\/em> in all their diversity and richness, as Virginia Woolf called for as long ago as 1929:    <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><\/p><cite>\u201cThat&#8217;s why I&#8217;d like to ask you to write books of all kinds without hesitating before any subject&#8230; no matter how trivial or extensive. [&#8230;] Because books influence each other, so to speak. Coming face to face with poetry and philosophy will make fiction better. Moreover, if you look closely at any of the great figures of the past, Sapho, Lady Murasaki, Emily Bront\u00eb, you will see that she is at once heiress and pioneer, and that she came into the world because women had arrived at the habit of writing naturally, so that any literary activity, even as a prelude to poetry, would be invaluable to you.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/renouvaud1.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/permalink\/41BCULAUSA_LIB\/mfpbkt\/alma991021108789602852\">Woolf, <em>Une chambre \u00e0 soi<\/em>,trans.
