The Hélène Cixous reader

"This is the first truly representative selection of texts by Helene Cixous. The substantial pieces range broadly across her entire oeuvre, and include essays, works of fiction, lectures and drama. Arranged helpfully in chronological order, the extracts span twenty years of intellectual thought and demonstrate clearly the development of one of the most creative and brilliant minds of the twentieth century." "The editor's introductions to each piece will be especially helpful to readers new to the writings of Helene Cixous."--BOOK JACKET.
