Alice Rivaz reveals a novel’s potential to destabilise traditional representations and present the world differently.
Alice Rivaz collated several texts in Ce nom qui n’est pas le mien (1980) including a pioneering feminist article that had remained unnoticed since 1945.
The Anthology of French Poetry was the brainchild of Henri-Louis Mermod and entrusted to Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz to steer. In 1942, the latter asked Alice Rivaz to prepare it.
In creating new women’s voices in fiction, the novelist revives the memory of the female writers of the past.
