typically 'French'

Brilliant. This article needs massive work. I'll see if I can get my French professor involved... Still, adding the globalise template.163.1.48.136 (talk) 19:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

the anti-linear, cyclical writing so often frowned upon by patriarchal society

Urgh. Where to begin (I think I'll have to find a copy of her essay first, read it entirely, then revise). Snapdragonfly

Indeed. I tried to clean up some of it a few seconds ago, but it needs a lot more attention than revising a few words.

At the present time, écriture féminine is a major discipline in schools and universities of English-speaking countries.

Is this a joke? -- LKS 7/7/06 it's called women's studies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.107.164 (talk) 05:22, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Clean up
I added a couple of appropriate quotations and references, did a little editing, and removed the "clean up" template. This is still very much a stub, but it is, I hope, a little tighter. scribblingwoman 20:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Article is poorly written and rambling. It needs a thorough clean-up. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:01, 12 April 2010 (UTC).

"translation"
In what way does it "literally" mean "gendered women's writing"? It doesn't. It means literally "female writing", or "feminine writing". Widsith 13:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Monique Wittig
I would like to remove Monique Wittig from the list of theorists in the following sentence:

This strand of feminist literary theory originated in France in the early 1970s through the works of Cixous and other theorists including Monique Wittig, Luce Irigaray,[2] Chantal Chawaf,[3][4] Catherine Clément, and Julia Kristeva[5][6].

You will notice that she is the only one without any source for her inclusion in that list (besides Cixous whose sources are given in the following section). That is because she was herself against the very idea of "écriture féminine" and argued a great deal against that concept. She explains it herself in the postface of her traduction of La Passion by Djuna Barnes: she argues that there exists no such thing as "écriture féminine", as "the woman is an imaginary formation". She adds:

"Ecriture féminine is the naturalising metaphor of the political fact of the domination of women. [...] Therefore, to talk about an "écriture féminine" amounts to saying that women don't belong to history and that writing isn't a material production".

(My traduction from french). She specifically stood up against écriture féminine. I'm therefore removing her name from the list and would like it not to be added again without a quote from Wittig herself justifying it.
