L'Euguélionne

L'Euguélionne (1976) is a tryptich novel by Louky Bersianik, which tells the gospel of the visitation of the title character, an extra-terrestrial female, to the planet Earth in the 20th Century.

It is a superb critique of sexism in the French language, in Western culture and Québec society; it is a call for revolution, and masterpiece of literature.
