Hélène Cixous: Writing the Feminine (Expanded Edition)

by Verena Andermatt Conley

Book Overview

Born in Algeria in 1937, H l ne Cixous achieved world fame for her short stories, criticism, and fictionalized autobiography (Dedans, 1969).

Her literary experiments and her conclusions make her one of the most stimulating and most elusive feminist theorists of our time.
