"L'Étudiante" is the second novel by Vanessa Duriès.

Like "Le lien", Vanessa Duriès' first novel, this is an autobiographical story. It has not been completed, since Vanessa Duriès was killed in a car accident when it was being written.

This second novel puts in parallel her very special kind of sexuality and her life as a student in Bordeaux. As in "Le lien", she is very clear and blunt when she describes her BDSM scenes, but she also describes her interest for the quieter love lives of her fellow students, love lives which she pokes fun at but that nevertheless exert some fascination on her, leading her to a clear analysis of the SM milieu.

Although it was written in 1993, it was only published in 2007 in the form of a joint volume with "Le Lien" by the Editions Blanche.

The cover image of the book is taken from Vanessa Duries' pictorial for the French "Penthouse".
