Referring to “L’Illusion comique” (Isabelle and Lyse), to “Le Cid” (Chimne et l’Infante), to “Vritable Saint Genest” (Valrie, Marcelle / Natalie), and to “School of Wives” (Agns, Georgette), what information on women in the 17th century and on their representation can we find in these texts?

What shocked the contemporary audience? How are we to discover, analyze and understand these heroines?
