TY - GEN T1 - Mothers of invention : feminist authors and experimental fiction in France and Quebec A1 - Santoro, Miléna, 1965- LA - English LA - French PP - Montréal ; Ithaca PB - McGill-Queen's University Press YR - 2002 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_ocn767733962 AB - Mothers of Invention draws together innovative works of fiction written by French and Quebec feminists in the mid-1970s. Through an analysis of the strategies adopted by Hélène Cixous, Madeleine Gagnon, Nicole Brossard, and Jeanne Hyvrard as they rework maternal and (pro)creative metaphors and play with language and conventions of genre, Miléna Santoro identifies a transatlantic community of women writers who share a subversive aesthetic that participates in, even as it transforms, the tradition of the avant-garde in twentieth-century literature. OP - 348 NO - Based on the author's thesis (Ph. D.--Princeton University, 1994) presented under the title: The feminist avant-garde text in France and Quebec.
