Popis: This article examines how a Francophone African woman autobiographer appropriates masculine attributes in order to create a counter-discourse aimed at criticizing a male-dominated society. It also shows that the writer’s conquest of masculinity is individual and does not correspond to a feminist agenda because Kesso is entangled in a series of contradictions that make her regret her choices and question her situation as an exiled African in France in an interracial marriage.
