=BACKGROUND INFORMATION=

Lori Saint-Martin was the first professor hired by UQAM's Department of Literary Studies in 1991 whose task was to develop a research and teaching field in women's studies. On October 8th of last year, she won the André-Laurendeau prize in social sciences, given by the Association francophone pour le savoir, 3 years after receiving the Excellence Award in Research and Design, career component, from the Université du Québec.

She has played a primary role in the plan to revitalize women's studies in literature. Through her research, which has been largely disseminated in Quebec and abroad, she also contributed to the growing acknowledgement of women's studies and its institutionalization as a legitimate field. According to Lori, feminist research in literature has provided significant contributions to Feminist studies in general. Another aspect of her work is to increase the visibility of women’s writing and to propose analyses of its tendencies. During her research, Lori became interested in the mother-daughter and father-child relationships in contemporary Quebecer literature. In 1991, she published: ''Le Nom de la mère. Mères, filles et écriture, and in 2010, La question du père dans la littérature québécoise actuelle'', in which she demonstrated the central role of fathers in Quebec fiction novels Since the end of the 2000s Lori has published many articles following research with Isabelle Boisclair, from l'Unversité de Sherbrooke, on the way that male authors portrayed the dynamics between the two sexes. Presently, she is still working with Isabelle Boisclair on another project concerning brother-sister dynamics in contemporary French and Quebecer novels. The project allows them to study families as socialization environments and the formation of gender identity After publishing 2 collections of short stories, Lettre à la femme de mon amant (1991) et Mon père, la nuit (1999) Lori published her first novel in 2013 titled : Les portes closes which has been critically-acclaimed. There are currently many projects on Lori Saint-Martin's drawing board. She will be publishing approximately 4000 pages of text written by Germaine Guèvremont for daytime serials and serial drama dedicated to Germaine. However, she has no intentions to stop writing fiction novels.
