Forerunners Debate

Is there anything about Colette or George Sand here?

- i think the sentence about de Beauvoir being a forerunner should be replaced with Colette and George Sand as forerunners instead (along with Marguerite Duras who is already listed). de Beauvoir should go into the list of well-known french feminists, as her writings were very much the beginning of french feminism as it is described here, rather than a 'forerunner' of later feminist thought.

However, the term "French Feminism" however applies to a historical period as well as an ideological/philosophical movement. The works of Simone de Beauvoir, while sharing some of the views of later French feminist, are not only anachronistic to the period included in the term (Beauvoir wrote much of her feminist literature well before 60's and 70's), but does not share the important of phallocentric languge, which is the center of French feminist literature. I agree that Colette and George Sand should also be listed withe the precursors to French feminism, especially given the importance of Colette to Hélène Cixous's idea of écriture féminine. --chemica 21:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Annie Leclerc

Does anyone know enough about the works of Annie Leclerc to know if she also belongs here? Is there a Wikipedia article on Annie Leclerc? (I should probably just check.)

- Chantal Chawaf-

I have seen no reference here to this important french writer, member of the emerging ecriture Feminine at the Editions des Femme- Antoinette Fouque during the 70 s in Paris? This writer had a ongoing evolution, always related to a gender writing.

Redirected

I've boldly redirected this page to feminism#French feminism. All the info that was on this page is there (bar the lists which actually violate WP:LIST and would have to be removed) plus more. When the section on Feminism gets large enough it can be ported back here and summarized there--Cailil ^talk 22:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
