Suzanne Roussi-Césaire, born in Martinique, was a writer, poet, anti-colonial and feminist activist and cultural figure. She co-founded the literary journal “Tropiques” (1941-1945) with her husband Aimé Césaire, providing a platform for Caribbean intellectuals and artists. Like many women in history, Suzanne Césaire has been overshadowed by the fame of her husband. Her ideas have not only been poorly read and rarely analyzed but have also been sometimes wrongly attributed. Furthermore, often racialized and exoticized, Suzanne Césaire has essentially been associated with the status of Aimé Césaire’s wife. However, she is the author of a work that has been overlooked for too long but is essential to the literary history of the Caribbean.
