Je, Tu, Nous: Towards a Culture of Difference (Routledge Classics)

A passionate celebrator of "sexual difference," Luce Irigaray was never simply after the social equality that her generation so publicly demanded. She was seeking more fundamentally a society that celebrated the differences between genders and their coming together in a union without hierarchy. As she formulates it in this compelling readable introduction to her own thought, Irigaray is writing about how "I" and "You" become "We." Exploring along the way women's experiences of motherhood, adoption, the AIDS crisis and the beauty industry, this book presents one of the most important thinkers in her own words.
