CHRISTIANSEN, HOPE
- Abstract
The article focuses on Jane de La Vaudère's novel "Les Demi-sexes" (1897) and its exploration of feminism through the mentorship relationship between Camille de Luzac and Nina Saurel. It reports that the novel delves into themes of women's freedom from motherhood and the exploration of sexuality, and it highlights the results of Nina's mentorship. It discusses how this representation of feminism in the novel differs from traditional feminist causes in the context of the French Third Republic.
