Travel writing, migrant writing, exile writing, expatriate writing, and even the fictional travelling protagonists that emerge in literary works from around the globe, have historically tended to depict mobility as a masculine phenomenon. The presence of such genres in women's writing, however, poses a rich and unique body of work. This volume examines the texts of Francophone women who have experienced or reflected upon the experience of transnational movement. Due to the particularity of their relationship to home, and the consequent impact of this on their experience of displacement, the study of women's mobility opens up new questions in our understanding of the movement from place to place, and in our broader understanding of colonial and postcolonial worlds. Addressing the proximities and overlaps that exist between the experiences of women exiles, migrants, expatriates and travellers, the collected essays in this book seek to challenge the usefulness, relevance or validity of such terms for conceptualising today's complex patterns of transnational mobility and the gendered identities produced therein.

Qu'attend une femme du XVIIIe siècle d'une correspondance avec un homme? Cet ouvrage examine des échanges épistolaires engagés par des femmes de l'élite culturelle, la marquise du Châtelet, Mlle de Lespinasse et Mme Riccoboni, Mme de La Tour, Mme de Charrière et la comtesse de Sabran. Il analyse leur situation, les images qu'elles projettent, les buts qu'elles poursuivent. Il étudie, en dépit des différences, les éléments d'un projet utopique visant à modifier les rapports hommes/femmes où l'intellect et le sentiment occuperaient une place centrale. En montrant que leur écriture épistolaire est marquée par la 'dialectique des sexes opposés', ce livre met en question l'image traditionnelle des femmes de lettres des Lumières.
