Here she analyses the genesis of texts - their mothering and fathering - and dares to differ from those postmodernists who want to deconstruct gender itself. \u003ci\u003eFemale Genesis\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving, controversial and revealing book which will give anyone interested in contemporary debates about writing and gender food for thought.\"\u003ci\u003eLorna Sage, University of East Anglia\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"This book is ... full of risk-taking and unexpected, often dazzling, turns and connections. It is both erudite and bold ... it is witty, self-aware and often ironic; sometimes it is lyrical and sensuous ... all of these essays ... are gems.\" \u003ci\u003eLinda Anderson, University of Newcastle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \"In her scintillating new collection, Nicole Ward Jouve writes against the grain of much recent feminist thinking in Europe and North America, yet she does so on behalf of a new inclusive feminist awareness. Hers is one of those necessary critical voices. She speaks as a gendered autobiographical subject, yet addresses men as well as women and reminds her readers at every turn of their common humanity.
