En 'Dones d'Alger en les seves estances', Assia Djebar nos transporta a la Argelia de 1832, recién conquistada por los franceses, donde Delacroix captura la esencia de un harem en su obra 'Dones d'Alger'. Años después, en 1955, Picasso reinventa esta visión, liberando a las mujeres y convirtiéndolas en heroínas de la batalla de Argel. En 1980, Djebar revisita a estas mujeres, explorando su diversidad histórica y social, y describiendo su lucha en los años posteriores al colonialismo. Con un lenguaje único, arraigado en la tradición oral, Djebar construye una ficción que desafía tabúes y se adentra en mundos prohibidos, revelando a la mujer a través de la memoria y el cuerpo.
Fatima-Zohra Imalayen, known by her pen name Assia Djebar, was an Algerian novelist, translator and filmmaker. Most of her works deal with obstacles faced by women, and she is noted for her feminist stance. She is "frequently associated with women's writing movements, her novels are clearly focused on the creation of a genealogy of Algerian women, and her political stance is virulently anti-patriarchal as much as it is anti-colonial." Djebar is considered to be one of North Africa's pre-eminent and most influential writers. She was elected to the Académie Française on 16 June 2005, the first writer from the Maghreb to achieve such recognition. For the entire body of her work she was awarded the 1996 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. She was often named as a contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature.
