| Summary | "Lettres écrites de Lausanne" by Isabelle de Charrière is a collection of epistolary letters written in the late 18th century. The work revolves around the character of Cécile and her mother as they navigate societal expectations, personal desires, and the complexities of love and marriage within their community. The letters explore themes of femininity, virtue, and the challenges faced by women in a restrictive society. The opening of the letters introduces the mother and her reflections on her daughter Cécile's prospects as she reaches the age of marriage. The mother expresses concern for Cécile's future, noting the mediocrity of the suitors she encounters yet remains hopeful about her daughter's happiness. She critiques societal norms regarding women's education and behavior while providing insights into Cécile's character, which is depicted as kind and lively. The letters take the reader through the intricacies of mother-daughter relationships, societal pressures, and the expectations placed upon women of their time, setting the stage for further developments in Cécile's story.
