Summary/Abstract: The invisibilization of female authors under the ancien régime is a complex phenomenon, although one that is increasingly being better understood. Among the many factors that contributed to the masculinization of the literary canon, this article highlights the notion of an overly ostentatious freedom exercised by female authors—whether amorous, social, political, or artistic. To confirm or refute this thesis, the study focuses on the exceptional case of Illyrine, ou l’écueil de l’inexpérience, the autobiography of Madame de Morency, a forgotten author from the late 18th century.
