Linda Le’s is one of the most resonant voices of the Vietnamese diaspora in Francophone writing, and her works are frequently read through the lens of exile and encounter with the other. While not engaging with explicit representations of the diasporic experience, Le’s fictional and non-fictional texts are profoundly marked by the dislocation and alienation associated with the experience. This article considers the ways in which Linda Le’s fictional writing surpasses the author’s own particular experience of the Vietnamese diaspora to offer a literary universe in which the disruptions of diaspora are expressed through the depiction of resistant modes of being and belonging. Focusing on two recent novels, Les aubes (2000) and In memoriam (2007), this article analyses Le’s resistant construction of femininity, arguing that it is prompted and even enabled by the necessary transitions and transpositions of the diasporic experience. Through an examination of the sisterly solidarity, gender alterity and (in)corporeality that are foregrounded in these novels, the analysis explores Le’s intratextual disruption of inherited models of femininity and modes of participation in domestic and sexual relationships, and draws a link with Le’s extratextual literary universe to reveal the feminist ethics that underpins her resistance to gendered hierarchies.  La voix de Linda Le est l’une des plus significatives de la diaspora vietnamienne dans la litterature francophone et ses œuvres sont frequemment lues dans l’optique de l’exil et de la rencontre avec l’autre. En contournant la representation explicite de l’experience diasporique, ses textes autant fictionnels que non-fictionnels sont neanmoins profondement marques par les ruptures et l’alienation de cette experience. Cet article examine la maniere dont l’ecriture fictionnelle de Linda Le depasse la propre experience que l’auteure a fait de la diaspora vietnamienne, pour construire un univers litteraire dans lequel les heurts de l’experience se traduisent par des modes d’etre et d’appartenir contestataires. Tout en se concentrant sur la construction de la feminite resistante dans deux romans recents, Les aubes (2000) et In memoriam (2007), l’article avance l’idee que se sont les transitions et transpositions imposees par l’experience diasporique qui l’ont rendue non seulement possible mais necessaire. A travers l’etude de la solidarite sororale, l’alterite sexuelle et l’(in)corporeite au sein de ces deux romans, cet analyse explore d’une part la contestation des modeles herites de la feminite, et de l’autre part, le refus de participer a des relations domestiques et sexuelles conventionnelles. En conclusion, il s’attache a demontrer comment ce lien entre les feminites contestataires de cette auteure singuliere et son univers litteraire intertextuel participe d’une ethique feministe qui soustend la resistance aux hierachies genrees.
