As a means to answering these questions, Wandering Women in French Film and Literature examines the phenomenon of ´narrative drift´ through in-depth analysis of twentieth-century novels and films.

"This book is of particular interest to French Studies scholars, especially those who work on feminist analyses of literature and film in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, or who study the particular novels or films she analyzes. ... the book´s work on narrative and feminist analysis remains highly relevant and a necessary addition to existing scholarship in French studies."
