Od buntu do wyzwolenia. Image kobiety nieobyczajnej według Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Françoise Sagan i Marguerite Duras
From Rebellion to Liberation: The Image of an Ill-Mannered Woman in the Literary Works of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Françoise Sagan and Marguerite Duras

Summary/Abstract: A woman’s identity, including her sexuality, reflects, as it were, her struggle for freedom within the domestic sphere, throughout history and culture, and charts her route to emancipation. In the context of cultural, moral, and ethical facts inspired by the theory of gender, the aim of the paper is to set forth a reflection on the question of the figure of the transgressive woman in French literature of the 19th and 20th centuries. This issue is viewed in relation to the sphere of the author’s personal life, as well as taking into account the historical and anthropological perspective related to the specificity and mentality of 19th and 20th century France; in particular, the social and public roles assumed by women yet imposed on them by society.
