Across the nineteenth, twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries, women writers struggle against the representation of women as binary figures, either public or private individuals; in each century, there are attempts to represent women as fluid and identity as multidimensional, some more successfully than others. Due to the constraints met by women, primarily in becoming artistic or literary creators, women writers need to represent themselves as creators to discover their place, their autonomy, their independence, their image, and, most importantly, their voice. The female characters addressed in this dissertation explore the difficulties of being a creator-an active subject with a public gender-, when one is also an image created-a passive object with a private gender. These characters negotiate a space between the extremes of gender roles and their desire to contribute productively to society. For some authors, representing this tension in their works is a stand against it, as shown in the novellas La femme auteur (1803) and La nouvelle poetique (1804) by Stephanie-Felicite de Genlis and the play La Triomphatrice (1918) by Marie Leneru. The eponymous characters in George Sand's Gabriel (1839) and Andre Leo's Aline-Ali (1869) attempt, but ultimately fail, to triumph over this binary dichotomization of gender. Finally, the works of three Francophone authors, including select paintings as well as the personal diary of Marie Bashkirtseff (1873-1884), Agnes Varda's pseudo-documentary film Jane B. par Agnes V. (1988), and Calixthe Beyala's novel/cookbook Comment cuisiner son mari a l'africaine (2010), depict possibilities beyond a linear and binary conception of femininity. Combining perspectives and analysis from feminist criticism, psychoanalysis, ecocriticism, and postcolonialism with close readings of these texts, this dissertation explores the variety of tools women use to find, develop and raise their unique voices, while at the same time challenging binary conceptions of self and society.
