The Laugh of the Medusa by Hélène Cixous, Paula Cohen, Keith Cohen
5.0
“Woman must write her self…must put herself into the text”
“By writing her self, woman will return to the body which has been more than confiscated from her, which has been turned into the uncanny stranger on display”
“Women must write through their bodies”
“If she is a whole, it’s a whole composed of parts that are wholes”
“Write! and your text-seeking self will know itself better than flesh and blood”
“Each body distributes in its own special way, without model or norm, the nonfinite and changing totality of its desires”
“When I write, it’s everything that we don’t know we can be that is written out of me”
