The author of "A Storm in the Body" also emphasises that "when a woman writes so confidently and honestly about this matter, she gives her imagination free reign, which makes her imagination serious, confident and targeted and focuses it on timelessness."
That being said, Benmoussa does not want to force this attitude on other female writers who do not feel that women have to have experienced something personally in order to write about it: "I am not in principle against the argument that women don't have to write about their own experiences. I am just courageously stating my own opinion; I don't want to denounce anyone."
Staying with this subject, she adds: "I don't want to wrestle with the language. When I capture a moment on paper – regardless of whether it is an emotional or a sexual moment – the full beauty and honesty of this moment should reach the reader or the listener. If one cannot get a moment of personal experience across clearly and transparently, what is the point of writing literature in the first place? If you can't do it, it would be better not to write at all."
