- Abstract
- Approximately one quarter of the large number of memoirs published during the first half of the nineteenth century were produced by, or are attributable to, women. How, in an area so reluctant to let the world of women into the public arena, did works penned by women become recognized as "Historical memoirs"? The study of the memoirs of the Duchess of Abrantes provides an answer : by implementing rules for expression (e.g. the use of conversational and of emotional words) that seem to be generally absent from the writings of male memoirists.
