Overview

Helene Cixous's analyses of the relations between sexuality and textual production have transformed theoretical discussions of gender and writing. Her work on the implications of a feminine economy in writing, and insistence on the bodily dimensions of textual production, are crucial to an understanding of the project of feminist literary criticism.
