While most literary studies of the Belle Époque (1880?1914) focus on the conventional housewife or harlot distinction for female protagonists, the heroines investigated in Career Stories are professional lawyers, doctors, teachers, writers, archeologists, and scientists.In addition to the one well-known woman writer from the Belle Époque, Colette, this study will expand our knowledge of relatively unknown authors, including Gabrielle Reval, Marcelle Tinayre, and Colette Yver, who actively participated in contemporary debates on women's possible roles in the public domain and in professional careers during this period. Career Stories seeks to understand early twentieth century France by examining novels written about professional women, bourgeois and working-class heroines, and the particular dilemmas that they faced. This book contributes a new facet to literary histories of the Belle Époque: a subgenre of the bildungsroman that flourished briefly during the first decade of the twentieth century in France. Rogers terms this subgenre the female berufsroman, or novel of women's professional development.Career Stories will change the way we think about the Belle Époque and the interwar period in French literary history, because these women writers and their novels changed the direction that fiction writing would take in post-World War I France. 606 $aFrench fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aProfessions in literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zFrance$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zFrance$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiteratura francesa$2thub 606 $aDones i literatura$2thub 606 $aEscriptores franceses$2thub 606 $aHistòria$2thub 606 $aProfessions$2thub 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / France$2bisacsh 607 $aFrança$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aFrench fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aProfessions in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 7$aLiteratura francesa. 615 7$aDones i literatura 615 7$aEscriptores franceses 615 7$aHistòria 615 7$aProfessions 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / France. 676 $a843/.91099287 700 $aRogers$b Juliette M.$f1961-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01097570 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597898803321 996 $aCareer stories$92618032 997 $aUNINA
