Resumo: | The article deals with the growing presence of women novelists in late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a fact which changed the literary landscape of the Belle Époque in France. This change surprised and angered some men of letters, who reacted by criticizing such women, often stereotypically affirming the absence of creative power in their work. Besides pointing out the visibility gained by these women writers, the author compares the way they presented female characters and the relations between the sexes to the manner in which the male novelists of the times built their narratives. In the Belle Époque, the growth of female readership brought about by increased literacy among women and by new educational opportunities, together with feminist activism, seems to have created an environment which allowed a large number of women to abandon old male pseudonyms and take up female pseudonyms or even to write under their own names. |

The Belle Époque of Women NovelistsA Belle Époque das romancistasThe article deals with the growing presence of women novelists in late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a fact which changed the literary landscape of the Belle Époque in France. This change surprised and angered some men of letters, who reacted by criticizing such women, often stereotypically affirming the absence of creative power in their work.

Essa transformação foi notada com surpresa e contrariedade por alguns homens de letras que reagiam com comentários desqualificadores das obras dessas mulheres, muitas vezes fazendo afirmações estereotipadas sobre a inexistência nelas do dom de criar. Além de apontar a visibilidade que tais mulheres romancistas ganharam, a autora compara a maneira como apresentavam os personagens femininos e a relação entre os sexos com a forma como os romancistas homens construíam, na época, as suas narrativas. Na belle époque, o crescimento do número de leitoras, promovido pela ampliação da alfabetização feminina e de novas oportunidades de educação e aliado à atuação das feministas, parece ter proporcionado ambiente propício para que inúmeras mulheres abandonassem antigos pseudônimos masculinos e passassem a adotar pseudônimos femininos ou, até mesmo, a assinar seu próprio nome nos romances que escreviam.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2002-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200200020000410.1590/S0104-026X2002000200004Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2002); 325Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2002); 325Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 10 n. 2 (2002); 3251806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2002000200004/8835Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHoubre, Gabrielle2019-09-30T09:09:30Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/9600Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:35.639046Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true |
