Wittig provides her most com­plete account of how literature and politics work together. Part of the generation that revolutionized French literature, Wittig reveals the secret of her craft: that the work a writer does with language is itself a form of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in France, Monique Wittig (1935-2003) was a driving force in second-wave feminism and one of the most brilliant authors of her generation. A provocative thinker, she famously declared that lesbians are not women and in­troduced women into a materialist framework by treating them as a class. Wittig is the author of, among other titles, The Straight Mind, Les Guérillères, and The Lesbian Body. Her debut novel, The Opoponax, won Le Prix Medicis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wittig, Monique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53792852705464,"sku":"9781804294451","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781804294451.jpg?v=1784632686","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781804294451","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
