Unbecoming Language

Focusing on the evolution of feminist thought in French literature, Annabel L. Kim analyzes the works of Nathalie Sarraute, Monique Wittig, and Anne Garréta across three generations. The book explores their influence on each other and highlights a neglected strand of anti-difference feminist ideas within the broader narrative of French feminisms. By reinterpreting these writers' contributions, Kim sheds light on the political potential of literature and challenges the prevailing Anglo-American perspectives on feminist history.
