"We translate what American women write, they never translate
our texts," wrote Helene Cixous almost two decades ago. Her
complaint about the unavailability of French feminist writing in
English has long since been rectified, but the situation for
feminist writing by German-speaking philosophers remains today what
it was then. This pioneering collection takes a giant step forward
to overcoming this handicap, revealing the full richness and
variety of feminist critique ongoing in this linguistic community.
The essays offer fresh readings of thinkers from the Enlightenment
to the present, including those often discussed by feminists
everywhere--such as Freud, Habermas, Hegel, Kant, and Rousseau--as
well as some less subjected to feminist critique such as Benjamin
and Weininger.
In their Introduction the editors provide the context for
understanding both how these essays fit into the larger picture of
developing feminist theory and what makes their contribution in
some ways distinctive.
