More from Grosz, Elizabeth

"Sexual difference is one of the major philosophical issues of all time, yet one of the most covered up in the history of philosophy."
"Woman is not the object of culture; she is a subject, a producer of culture."
"The body itself is a text, constantly being written and rewritten by the social and cultural forces that act upon it."
