Subject: Re: FF and September 11




There is a text co-signed by a number of feminists.  Christine Delphy was
centrally involved in its writing (hence my connection, she asked me to
translate it into English), and it was partially published in L'Humanité I
think.  There was also a speakout against the war on Dec 2 in Paris.
For more info see the website

There may be others, I don't know.

But if by 'French Feminists' you mean Kristeva, Cixous & co, I would have no
idea.  Kristeva & Cixous do not in any case identify as feminist nor are they
identified as such by other French feminists.  Irigaray is a slightly
different case.

For more on this and more generally on the construction of "French Feminism"
in the English-speaking world and esp. the US, see Delphy 1987 (Yale French
Studies), Moses 1996 (Australian Feminist Studies) and myself 1997 (Women's
Studies International Forum).

Cheers
Bronwyn
