THE STRAIGHT MIND
AND OTHER ESSAYS
MONIQUE WITTIG
These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig.Among the most provocative and compelling feminist political visions since The Second Sex. These essays represent the radical extension of de Beauvoirs theory, its unexpected lesbian future. Wittigs theoretical insights are both precise and far-reaching, and her theoretical style is bold, incisive, even shattering.Judith Butler, Johns Hopkins University
