Claire Louisa Rose Bonne Lechal de Durfort, Duchesse de Duras, nee de Coëtnempren de Kersaint (1777-1828) est une ecrivaine francaise feministe surtout connue pour son roman Ourika, qui analyse les questions d'egalite raciale et sexuelle. Claire de Duras a traite de sujets complexes et controverses, avec principalement des personnages opprimes et marginalises que leur race ou leur origine sociale empeche de connaitre le bonheur. Elle a explore beaucoup de principes fondamentaux de la Revolution francaise et a evoque les discussions intellectuelles des Lumieres, en particulier l'egalite entre tous les hommes et des femmes. La tragedie est un theme commun a ses sujets. Claire de Duras ne comptait pas faire carriere dans la litterature et c'est a contrecoeur qu'elle ceda aux pressions de Chateaubriand et publia anonymement, en 1822, Olivier un des trois brefs romans, les deux autres etant Ourika (1823) et Edouard (1825). Deux autres, Le Moine du Saint-Bernard et Les Memoires de Sophie resterent inedits. En outre, elle compila les Pensees de Louis XIV, Extraites de ses Ouvrages et de ses Lettres Manuscrites, publiees en 1827.
