Verreault, Sabine (pseud. of Elisabeth Vonarburg). "Eon." Novella in Janus ("Présence du futur"). Paris: Denoël, 1984.

Features an "organic generation Ship" carrying clones, and run by the Ship's computer, Ordo (order). ". . . Ordo's grip on things slips: the computer is slowly taken over by the Ship[,] who has become sentient and female." Summarized and discussed by E. Vonarburg, quote here, "Birth and Rebirth in Space," q.v. under Literary Criticism.
