In this landmark essay, feminist theorist and philosopher Hélène Cixous coined the term \u003ci\u003eécriture féminine\u003c\/i\u003e (or 'feminine writing'). Allowing women to claim authority in the face of systematic oppression, she imagines this new mode of writing to be defined by a generous, open attitude to otherness and distinct from patriarchal models of communication. Part philosophical treatise, part political manifesto, \u003ci\u003eMedusa's Laugh \u003c\/i\u003eis a clarion call to write - for ourselves and of ourselves - and is one of the most important works of second-wave feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57752178229621,"sku":"9780241776223","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9780241776223.jpg?v=1794241743","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.com\/products\/9780241776223","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
