Her open letter questions the place of women in literature: how can a female writer be subjected to vicious campaigns to defile her as a woman and undermine her authorship? Louise Colet tried to defend her honor and the cause of women by promoting a women’s literature in which literary creation is never detached from life and its vicissitudes.
