Fleutiaux, Pierrette

Fleutiaux, Pierrette (1941– ),
French writer who began her career with the fantastic (Histoire de la chauve‐souris (The Story of the Bat, 1974)) and later published a collection of fairy tales, Métamorphoses de la reine (Metamorphoses of the Queen, 1985), which won the prestigious Prix Goncourt. In this latter volume, she rewrites several of Perrault's stories, most notably by amplifying violence and eroticism, developing women's roles, and shifting narrative points of view. Above all, play with fairy‐tale conventions allows Fleutiaux to reflect critically on expectations about feminine conduct.
