About this book

In the early 20th century, societal norms began to shift, challenging traditional views on aging and femininity. "L'école des vieilles femmes" by Jean Lorrain intricately weaves the lives of elderly women grappling with their desires and the relentless passage of time. Through poignant narratives, Lorrain examines themes of unfulfilled love and the societal expectations that weigh heavily on these women. This novel invites readers to reflect on the complexities of identity and desire in a world that often sidelines the voices of the aging. Ideal for students and civic activists interested in gender studies and social commentary, "L'école des vieilles femmes" offers a profound exploration of resilience and self-discovery against the backdrop of an evolving society.
