Françoise Mallet-Joris, pen name of Françoise Lilar, born July 6, 1930 in Antwerp (Belgium) and died August 13, 2016 in Bry-sur-Marne (France)1, is a renowned Belgian and French woman of letters and member of the Goncourt Academy2 from 1971 until his resignation in 20113.
Biography
Literary career

Daughter of the Belgian minister Albert Lilar and the woman of letters Suzanne Lilar2, Françoise Lilar published her first work, Poème du Dimanche4, at the age of 16. At the age of 19, she was unable to publish a lesbian novel, Le Rempart des Béguines, under her name, and so chose the pseudonym Mallet5. In 1950, she added Joris to keep a Belgian sound.

She became known with her novel Le Rempart des Béguines which evokes a lesbian love story between a young girl and her father\'s mistress. The work was adapted for the cinema in 1972 by the director Guy Casaril, with whom she worked on the screenplay. The sequel to this novel, The Red Room, is adapted for the cinema by Belgian director Jean-Pierre Berckmans.

She was also a lyricist and companion of the singer Marie-Paule Belle6.

She also wrote the libretto for an unpublished opera, Caryl Chessman, with music by José Berghmans.

A member of the Prix Femina committee from 1969 to 1971, she was unanimously elected in November 1971 to the Académie Goncourt where she served until her resignation in 2011, for health reasons3. A woman of influence in the literary world, she attracted the hatred of Jean-Edern Hallier who claimed to have ordered an attack on her home in 1975, committed by Jack Thieuloy7.

From 1993 to her death, Françoise Mallet-Joris was a member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium, where she occupied the chair of her mother Suzanne Lilar, who died a year earlier.

His death was announced on August 13, 2016 by Pierre Assouline6.

    “Françoise Mallet-Joris had a large audience, particularly among women, but not only among women. She was not just a novelist for women, contrary to what has been said because of her feminist commitments.6,8 »

— Pierre Assouline
Private life

Françoise Mallet-Joris was married three times, to the writer Robert Amadou, then to the sociologist Alain Joxe, finally to the painter Jacques Delfau. She had four children, a son from her first marriage and then a son and two daughters from her third. She then, from 1970 to 1981, was the companion of the singer Marie-Paule Belle for whom she was also the lyricist: the two women made no secret of their relationship, which was uncommon at the time8,9.
