Reviews

"Psychoanalyst and philosopher by profession, feminist by choice, and radical by nature, Irigaray is one of the most important women writers of con- temporary France, with an armful of books since the early seventies, two of them now translated into English." -The Antioch Review (Winter 1986) This Sex is complex, readable, and worth the effort it takes to make it part of what you know. It is a valuable step in disrupting phallic discourse and "jamming the theoretical machinery itself."-Perspectives (Vol. 6, 1986)
