Wittig provides her most com­plete account of how literature and politics work together. Part of the generation that revolutionized French literature, Wittig reveals the secret of her craft: that the work a writer does with language is itself a form of resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn and raised in France, Monique Wittig (1935–2003) was a driving force in second-wave feminism and one of the most brilliant authors of her generation. A provocative thinker, she famously declared that lesbians are not women and in­troduced women into a materialist framework by treating them as a class. Wittig is the author of, among other titles, \u003ci\u003eThe Straight Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLes Guérillères\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Lesbian Body\u003c\/i\u003e.
