Michèle Sarde

Michèle Sarde (born 1939), is a French writer (''agrégée de lettres'', Université Paris Sorbonne-Paris IV), born in 1939. She taught French literature and culture, together with gender and intercultural studies at Georgetown University, Washington D.C., from 1970 to 2000.

Her literary work reflects her experience at the intersection between three of the world's regions, drawing inspiration from them. The key themes of her work, for which she has won several literary awards, are the observation of women, intercultural issues, the interaction between history and individual destinies and 20th century totalitarian systems, and the interweaving of personal and historical memory. She is an essayist, biographer and novelist. Her books have been translated into English, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. Provided by Wikipedia
