Apprentice Sages: Female Apprenticeships

What role does apprenticeship play in the process of women’s emancipation? Female apprenticeship remains a complex topic of debate, as it lies at the intersection of literary, political, cultural, economic, and historical issues. Although women have often been excluded from educational environments, they have nonetheless shaped history through constant and relentless struggles for the right to education and, consequently, for emancipation.

Unlike politics and society, where this issue has often been overlooked, literary studies have devoted a privileged space to it. Literature is one of the essential tools enabling women to move steadily toward independence. Thus, narratives written for women and about women by Nezâmî, Corneille, Dostoevsky, Aleramo, Pardo Bazán, Colette, Cervon, Campagne, Rivaz, Woolf, and Lessing find resonance in the pages of this volume.

This work offers a multidisciplinary and multicultural approach to a highly topical theme.
