- Book Synopsis
- The Literary Workshop takes readers inside Monique Wittig's creative process, unlocking the practice of writing both in material and political terms. Wittig provides her most com�plete 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. Born 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 in�troduced women into a materialist framework by treating them as a class. Wittig is the author of, among other titles, The Straight Mind, Les Gu�rill�res, and The Lesbian Body. Her debut novel, The Opoponax, won Le Prix Medicis.
