Reviews
"Wittig ( The Lesbian Body ) is a key figure in French feminism, perhaps the foremost theorist of a profoundly radical lesbianism. Half of the nine essays in this brief collection deal directly with the politics of gender, a battlefield on which Wittig has staked out a nearly unique position: "There is no sex. There is but sex that is oppressed and sex that oppresses.''...As a result, these ostensibly literary essays offer the most cogent statement of her political beliefs and, consequently, the most satisfying reading." --Publishers Weekly "Wittig most brilliantly analyzes certain transformations in the textures and structures of literary language. The wonderful image of the role of literature as a Trojan horse is a gem of clarity and wit." --Germaine Brée "At last it will be possible to have easy access to these provocative and important essays." --Elaine Marks, University of Wisconsin, editor of New French Feminisms, "Among the most provocative and compelling feminist political visions since The Second Sex . These essays represent the radical extension of de Beauvoir's theory, its unexpected lesbian future. Wittig's theoretical insights are both precise and far-reaching, and her theoretical style is bold, incisive, even shattering." --Judith Butler, Johns Hopkins University "Wittig most brilliantly analyzes certain transformations in the textures and structures of literary language. The wonderful image of the role of literature as a Trojan horse is a gem of clarity and wit." --Germaine Brée "At last it will be possible to have easy access to these provocative and important essays." --Elaine Marks, University of Wisconsin, editor of New French Feminisms
