The essays in this volume provide an overview and critical account
of prevalent trends and theoretical arguments informing current
investigations into literary treatments of motherhood and aging.
They explore how two key stages in women's lives-maternity and old
age-are narrated and defined in fictions and autobiographical
writings by contemporary French and francophone women. Through
close readings of Maryse Conde, Helene Cixous, Zahia Rahmani, Linda
Le, Pierrette Fleutieux, and Michele Sarde, among others, these
essays examine related topics such as dispossession, female
friendship, and women's relationships with their mothers. By
adopting a broad, synthetic approach to these two distinct and
defining stages in women's lives, this volume elucidates how these
significant transitional moments set the stage for women's evolving
definitions (and interrogations) of their identities and roles.
