Violette Leduc was a French feminist writer and protege of Simone de Beauvoir.
“In the France she lived in, a provincial woman, a smuggler, a lesbian who lived wildly and loved madly, was not deemed worthy of inclusion into cultural narrative, into canon and classroom. She may be dead, gone and forgotten, but she may still be right.” (Rafia Zakaria, The Guardian, 2016).
