Description
[ANARCHO-FEMINISM / RENÉE DUNAN] - Correspondence between Renée Dunan and her publishers, notably René Spaeth, editor of *La Pensée Française* in Strasbourg, concerning the 1923 publication of her famous work *La Culotte en Jersey de Soie* and literary contributions to various risqué magazines such as *Paris Plaisirs* and *Paris Beauté* (1922–1953). ‘I have received two adventure stories from you, but please avoid sadistic scenes in this genre. No women raped by several men, no flogging, I beg you. The newspapers are under fierce attack at the moment; there are even legal proceedings. So go for it, go for it, go for it. The clergy have gained the upper hand.” Renée Dunan (Avignon 1892–1936) was a French writer, critic and poet, associated with the anarcho-feminist and Dadaist movements. According to some, part of Renée Dunan’s unpublished manuscripts was allegedly exploited by Georges Dunan, who is said to have impersonated her. A very interesting collection comprising a total of over 150 pages, essential for completing the author’s poorly documented bibliography.
