In 'Une femme', Annie Ernaux attempts to reconstruct the life of her mother, from her humble origins to her death. Through simple and direct prose, the author explores the complex and ambivalent relationship she had with her, marked by love, resentment, and incomprehension. The work is an intimate and moving portrait of a woman who struggled to improve her social condition and who transmitted to her daughter the desire for self-improvement. Ernaux reflects on memory, identity, and class differences, offering a lucid and honest look at the lives of women in 20th-century French society.
