MARGUERITE YOURCENAR OU L’ÉCRITURE EST-ELLE DE GENRE MASCULIN ?
MARGUERITE YOURCENAR OR IS WRITING MASCULINE?

Summary/Abstract: Marguerite Yourcenar or is writing masculine? Marguerite Yourcenar was the first woman to become member of the French Academy on March 6, 1980.

Using Yourcenar’s Mémoires d’Hadrien, we have attempted at finding out what this means.
