Abstract
Abstract:This article examines how French novelist Gabrielle Réval's first non-fiction book, L'Avenir de nos filles (1904), functions as both an innovative career guide for young women as well as a showcase for Réval's forward-thinking ideas about women's work. Drawing on her experience as a teacher, writer, and single mother, Réval intersperses interviews with professional women with nuanced feminist commentary. By presenting real-life stories of working women, Réval exposes rarely shared details about a range of professions and offers a realistic, clear-eyed perspective on both the opportunities and challenges of the workplace for women in early 20th-century France.
摘要:本文考察了法国小说家加布里埃尔·雷姆萨瓦尔的第一部非虚构作品《充满荆棘的大街》(L’avenir de nos filles, 1904),这本书既是年轻女性的创新职业指南,也是雷姆萨瓦尔对女性工作的前瞻性思想的展示。根据她作为教师、作家和单身母亲的经历,雷姆斯瓦尔在对职业女性的采访中穿插了细致入微的女权主义评论。通过讲述职业女性的真实故事,r瓦尔揭露了一系列职业中很少被分享的细节,并为20世纪初法国女性在工作场所面临的机遇和挑战提供了一个现实、清晰的视角。
