Women (French: Femmes) is a 1983 novel by French novelist Philippe Sollers. First published in English translation in 1990, Women marked Sollers's move to a more accessible form of fiction writing after a series of difficult experimental texts.[1] The novel was a best-seller in France[2] and attracted attention as a roman à clef that contained recognizable portraits of significant French intellectual figures, such as Louis Althusser, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan, and Sollers himself.[3]
