Une femme qui gagne sa vie en écrivant est une ?
Dans un bouquin, j'ai vu le mot "écrivaine", mais mon livre de grammaire dit que le bon terme est "femme écrivain".
Welcome to French Language Stack Exchange
French Language is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the French language. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about the French language.
New to French Language Stack Exchange? Read our FAQ!
Ce site, French Language (Langue française), est un site de questions–réponses pour les étudiants, enseignants et linguistes désireux de discuter de la langue française. Il est construit et supervisé par vous, et fait partie d'une famille plus large de sites de questions–réponses appelée Stack Exchange. Avec votre aide, nous construisons une bibliothèque la plus exhaustive possible de questions concernant le français.
L'interface du site, ainsi que le reste de la présentation ci-dessous, sont pour l'instant uniquement en anglais. Nous en sommes désolés ! Nous disposons d'une petite foire aux questions (FAQ) pour vous aider à démarrer.
We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:
Ask questions, get answers, no distractions
This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.
Just questions...
...and answers.
up vote
Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.
The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.
accept
The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".
Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.

La féminisation des noms est un sujet de débats de nos jours. Traditionnellement, on emploie « un écrivain » quel que soit le sexe de l’écrivain, d’autres diront « une écrivain » (~« une femme écrivain » me semble douteux) , d’autres préconisent « une écrivaine ».
Et ne parlons pas du féminin d’« auteur ».

J'ai entendu récemment une interview d'une telle femme à qui le journaliste posait cette question.
Sa réponse a été: Je suis une romancière.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions
Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.
Ask about...
- The meaning of a word or expression in context (if it is not clear from the dictionary definition)
- Word choice and usage (including dialect differences)
- Grammar
- Etymology and other topics about the French language
Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.
Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.
Don't ask about...
- Proofreading or translation, unless a specific source of concern is clearly specified
- How to translate a French expression into another language
- Questions about French culture that are not related to the language
- Questions that are primarily opinion-based, with too many possible answers, or that would require an extremely long answer
Tags make it easy to find interesting questions
All questions are tagged with their subject areas. Each can have up to 5 tags, since a question might be related to several subjects.
Click any tag to see a list of questions with that tag, or go to the tag list to browse for topics that interest you.
