A feminist study of the impact of gender on a text recognized as one of the great works of French Renaissance literature.

In this way, she examines how the Heptameron interacts with male literary traditions and narrative conventions about gender relations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
