Discusses how language, religion, law, art science and technology have failed women and why. The author goes beyond analysis and commentary to propose concrete changes tailored to women's specificity in all these fields - practical means of ensuring "our" culture is women's as well as men's.

In these essays, the author discusses how language, religion, law, art science and technology have failed women and why. She goes beyond analysis and commentary to propose concrete changes tailored to women's specificity in all these fields - practical means of ensuring "our" culture is women's as well as men's. These changes, she argues, are crucial to the survival of humankind and the Earth itself. Irigary's other publications include "Elemental Passions" (1992), "The Ethics of Sexual Difference" (1993) and "Speech is Never Neuter" (1994).

Luce Irigaray is Director of Research in Philosophy at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris. A doctor of philosophy, Luce Irigaray is also trained in linguistics, philology, psychology and psychoanalysis. Now acknowledged as a key influential thinker of our times, her work focuses on the culture of two subjects, masculine and feminine - particularly through the liberation of a feminine subjectivity - something she explores in a range of literary forms, from the philosophical to the scientific, the political and the poetic.

A chance to live; how do we become civil women?; civil rights and responsibilities for the two sexes; the forgotten mystery of female genealogy.
