Description: "O Malheureuse is a first of it's kind collection of womens' writings including song, poem, and prose by Louisiana woman in French. As a woman who absorbed much French language from my hometown radio station, and who, as a musician, gained familiarity with Louisiana music, I was struck at how many times the word 'malheureuse!' was used in the older French lyrics. 'Oh unhappy woman!'. This collection is an intuitive and unselfconscious look at some of the women who are writing in Louisiana in French now. It is produced in an effort to provide more art and dialogue in Louisiana French, and to bring balance to a temporary imbalance in the public voice of women in Louisiana French literature for current and future generations of Louisiana French speakers"--
