Philosophy Book Club: Laugh of the Medusa by Helene Cixous

Flowing off a thread of discussion from a prior reading, I thought it would be a good opportunity to get into some feminist theory. Something that interests me is theory of language when it comes to cultural studies, and Cixous’ concept of Ecriture Feminine is a good way to engage with it.

I additionally thought it would be good to accompany this reading with some fiction, so I’m attaching a CL Moore short story. As always, regardless of what you’ve read, the discussion will be made accessible.
