“Continuity, abundance, drift—are these specifically feminine? I think so. And when a similar wave of writing surges forth from the body of a man, it’s because in him femininity is not forbidden. Because he doesn’t fantasize his sexuality around a faucet. He isn’t afraid of wanting for water, he doesn’t arm himself with his Mosaic rod to smite the rock. He says, “I’m thirsty,” and writing springs forth.” Helene Cixous, “Coming to Writing” 1977, in “’Coming to Writing’ and Other Essays” (quote page 57) edited by Deborah Jenson with an introductory essay by Susan Rubin Suleiman, Harvard University Press, 1991. |
