There was a time where women were considered to be less intelligent than men simply because they were women. However, this changed during the nineteenth century.

This view of exclusion led Djebar to her Algerian Quartet, which is a writing project to reestablish links with the maternal world, which she felt distanced from, but in fact never lost.
