List Of Canadian Women Writers In French
This is a list of Canadian women writers in French who were born in Canada or whose writings in French are closely associated with that country. It was in the mid-19th century that French-speaking women began to contribute to Canadian literature, partly as a result of growing Quebec patriotism but also because of the influence of the Catholic church and developments in education. Early contributors include the novelists Laure Conan and Gabrielle Roy and the poet Blanche Lamontagne-Beauregard.
