Book Synopsis
A study of Helene Cixous that adopts a chronological and expository approach, bravely taking on the daunting task of presenting to non-French-speaking readers an author who specializes in word-play.

Trade Review
"A valuable exposition of Cixous's projects, showing their changing relation to the cultural and hisorical situation from which she writes."—Year's Work in English Studies
"[This book] serves the useful purpose—for English readers—of setting out the detailed trajectory of Cixous's writing career, describing her texts (both 'fiction' and 'theory') without any attempt at crude paraphrase, and placing her ideas in a wider . . . context."—Christopher Norris, London Review of Books
