Violent Days: Algerian Women Writers and the Civil Crisis
http://www.lib.unb.ca/Texts/IFR/bin/get.cgi?directory=Vol.27/&filename=Geesey.htm
“This essay examines several recent works of fiction by Algerian women who have reacted to a state of violence in their nation by taking up the pen in order to bear witness to the suffering of the Algerian people. Their objective is to describe the civil crisis to a French-language reading public both at home nd abroad, as well as to ensure that women’s experiences of the conflict will not be undocumented for future generations.”
