Abstract
This article provides new insights into questions concerning femininity in psychoanalysis by drawing from comparisons made between a seventeenth-century Chinese woman of letters, Liu Rushi, and central figures of the movement of preciosity which took place at the same time in France. The premise of this study is that Liu Rushi shared similarities at least in appearance with the les précieuses in terms of their literary devices and their attitudes towards love. And it is notable that these French authors have already been the subject of discussion in Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory.
