    Louky Bersianik

    Lucile Durand (a.k.a. Louky Bersianik) poet, author (born 14 November 1930 in Montreal, QC; died 3 December 2011 in Montreal). Louky Bersianik embodied Quebec’s "feminist conscience" in the 1970s and 1980s. Through words, she questioned and pushed the limits of women’s image in modern society, setting the tone for the generations of feminist literature that would follow. She is best remembered today for her first novel, the triptych L’Euguélionne (1976).
