Monique Wittig was a revolutionary force in second-wave feminism and one of the most brilliant writers of her generation.Through her groundbreaking writing, she laid the groundwork for generations of queer feminist thinkers. The Literary Workshop takes readers inside Wittig's creative process, revealing writing as material practice and political action. Often split between theorist and author, Wittig here provides her most complete account of how literature and politics work together. Part of the generation that revolutionized French literature, Wittig invented new modes of writing the world. She reveals the secret of her craft: that the work a writer does with language is itself a form of resistance.
Monique Wittig was a feminist, activist and one of the most brilliant authors of her generation. A provocative thinker, she famously declared that lesbians are not women, and introduced women into a Marxist framework by treating women as a class. Wittig is the author of The Straight Mind, Les Guérillères, and The Lesbian Body.
