Wandering Women in French Film and Literature represents an intriguing exploration of a variety of approaches used to enable female drifters to escape the clutches of male narrative and unmask dubious 'absolute male narrative authority.' The discussion of fiction and film together, with a focus on female narratives and narratives of females, is a significant contribution to the field of twentieth century literature and cinema studies. - Michael Gott, University of Cincinnati, USA
