Who is Colette's Daughter and Goddaughter from The Collected Stories of Colette and what is their importance?

These two characters, while presented as mostly separate from each other in different stories, have similar properties which unite them. Together, they represent the youngest women in the book, and thus Colette's vision of the future for women. Her god-daughter, who appears in several dialogues for one voice, has a sardonic, precocious voice, and already has formed opinions on everything from literature to love to hats. Similarly, Colette's daughter appears as a minor focus in other stories, as Colette watches her growing up and dislikes how she must start to conform to society's expectations for women in general and her own separation from her mother in particular. The two young girls are generally depicted as funny, clever, and wise before their years.
