Abstract
Les bibliothèques reflètent des ordres des livres fondés sur la sélection et l’exclusion. L’article vise à comprendre comment elles ont cristallisé l’histoire complexe des relations de genre. Il étudie les collections réelles des bibliothèques féminines et les imaginaires des bibliothèques au féminin du XIV au XVI siècle afin de mettre au jour les alternatives que lectrices et autrices ont alors fait émerger.
Libraries reflect book orders based on selection and exclusion. This article aims to grasp how they crystallized the complex history of gender relations. It examines both women’s collections and the representations of women in libraries in French texts from the 14th to the 16th century in order to uncover the alternatives that women readers and authors brought to light during that crucial period.
