Episode 1 FR - Lifting Women's Voices in Literature with Kate Mosse and Ariane Geffard

<p>When bestselling author Kate Mosse launched the Women’s Prize of Fiction, she was trying to resolve a seemingly impossible puzzle: how was it that women made up a vast majority of the readership, and yet only a very small minority of the authors who were short-listed for literary prizes? Twenty-five years later, with prize-winning authors such as Lionel Shriver, Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, or Ali Smith, the Women’s Prize for Fiction has proven to be a reference for millions of readers.<br /> <br /> <br /> In France, publishing companies are only just starting to wake up to the idea that other stories are worth telling. Since the creation of her agency, feminist literary agent Ariane Geffard has changed the game, one bestseller after another, giving voice to marginalised authors and shedding light on the work of many new, different artists.</p> <p><br /> Hosted by Clémence Rebourg (Institut français), this episode explores how to lift women’s voices in the publishing world.</p> <p> </p> <p>For this episode, Ariane Geffard's interview will be featured in its original French. If you would like to listen to the dubbed version, you can find it under Episode 1- ENG. </p>
