Abstract
This chapter examines the portrayal of the adult woman and female behaviour paradigms in Annie Ernaux's La Femme gelée and Passion simple. It evaluates the interpretation of these works as feminist and suggests that such an interpretation is based more on politically aware use of rhetoric than on the events they portray. The chapter explains that feminist interpretation of these works is focused on the narrator's sexually voracious attitude to her lover and on the frank portrayal of sexual desire from the perspective of a middle-aged female.
