The Parliement of Francophone Female writers and its Anthologyand: Discourses and positionings
The Parliament of Francophone Women Writers was born in 2018 in Orleans under the impetus of Tunisian writer Fawzia Zouari. The initiative is immediately supported by the Orleans City Council and the International Organization of La Francophonie. Referring to the notion of archipelago bequeathed by Édouard Glissant, the Parliament brings together approximately one hundred and thirty members from five continents and representing twenty-four nationalities. These women have decided to take their place in the world. If they are not all professional writers, they know what they have to say. Their fight in favor of women, especially those who do not have the right to speak, makes them a Voice that deserves to be heard. The French language, which they choose as the principal means of reaching the world, is echoed by this Voice, which resonates with strength and intelligence in her anthology, Voix d'écrivaines francophones, the subject of this reflection.
