The Newly Born Woman (Theory & History of Literature)

By Hélène Cixous and Catherine Clément

Book Overview

For an American feminist--at least for this American feminist--reading The Newly Born Woman is like going to sleep in one world and waking in another--going to sleep in a realm of facts, which one must labor to theorize, and waking in a domain of theory, which one must strive to (f)actualize.
