normal que algunos ensayos me hayan interesado más que otros, algunos me costó llevarlos no sé si por la traducción o por que el lenguaje, pero todos sus planteamientos son increíbles y me sorprendió que la última mitad fueran sobre el lenguaje

"y sería impropio decir que las lesbianas viven, se asocian, hacen el amor con mujeres porque «la mujer» no tiene sentido más que en los sistemas heterosexuales de pensamiento y en los sistemas económicos heterosexuales. Las lesbianas no son mujeres"

Un recueil de textes tous très intéressants, pas forcément à ma portée car ce sont des textes rédigés à la façon des écrits universitaires, ce qui rend la lecture lente car il est intéressant de s'attarder sur les passages qu'on a moins bien compris. Une introspective complète sur le lesbianisme et une nouvelle vision du féminisme.

If I had understood what Wittig was writing about, I’m sure this rating would be higher. I’ve read another work by her and enjoyed it, so I guess I was expecting something else. This is basically a deep discussion on gender in language. The first section was interesting and I was able to hang on, but as it progressed, the subject matter went over my head :/
