She has chapters on Irigaray, Cixous & Kristeva (as well as other feminists that are not French). Moi also edited a collection called _French Feminist Thought: A Reader_ and _The Kristeva Reader_, essays & excerpts of larger works. Margaret Whitford edited _The Irigaray Reader_. I really enjoyed this because she has introductory essays to the excerpts of Irigaray's work, plus a glossary of terms. Shaula, I think we both belong to a couple of the same e-discussion groups. (Do you still belong to femisa--I unsubed, couldn't take the diversions any more. Is it back in focus now? Post me privately to spare ff our discussion.) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trudy Mercer + The self is not contained in any + Seattle, Washington, USA + moment or any place, but it is only + true-AT-u.washington.edu + in the intersection of moment and place + + that the self might, for a moment, be + + seen vanishing through a door, which + + disappears at once. + + Jeanette Winterson + + Sexing The Cherry + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------
