Abstract
Revolution and military coups have a real impact on
literature. We can see this in Ahlam Mostaganemi's novel The Memory
of the Body. One can find an evident impact and implementation of the
values of the Algerian revolution during the 1950s. The writer was able
to make her characters a reflection of the spirit of revolution rather than
its form. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to explore the major
influences of the Algerian Revolution on the image of woman in
literature. It is not surprising that a novelist like Ahlam Mostaganemi is
able to make a part of her spirit a real part of the memory of the
revolution and the memory of the place (Constantine), of suspended
bridges; it is not a coincidence that it is the creativity of the writer .
