Abstract
Latifa Ben Mansour (1950-) is an Algerian novelist who exposes the dramatic episodes of the country which date from the colonial era to the dark decades: in her novel La prière de la peur, she addresses the abuses suffered by Algerian women: socio-cultural exclusion, inaccessibility to politics. The marginalization of all spheres of life stimulates the need to take up the pen in order to transpose the multiple discriminations relating to their feminine condition. These problems are all the more intensified in times of turbulence. The Algerian woman, by excellence, is subject to an obsolete code of conduct, which incites the novelist to revolt through writing against the silence and indifference that reign in Algeria
