Summary/Abstract: Changes in mentalities and the advent of globalization has led to insufficient linguistic resources in the French language to express some realities relative to women. This has led to an appropriation of the Frenchlanguage by women and particularly the female Cameroonian writer. From This observation, our questioning may carry on the various forms that these linguistic appropriations could have and their underlying meanings. The theory of variationism and the descriptive method are used. The conclusion drawn from this is that the modification oflinguistic norms noted in literary texts written by female Cameroonian writers is aimed at claiming a co-propriety of linguistic norms, gender equality and the use of language as a weapon against social inequalities.
