Summary: | What is the relation of criticism to literature? What does it mean to call oneself a woman? What does a (feminine) coming to writing--"la venue a l'ecriture," in Cixous's phrase--imply? How may feminist strategies of reading appropriate the literary theory developed in France since the 1960s? What is involved in reading "like a woman?" These are some of the questions Mary Lydon explores in Skirting the Issue . |
