hmm. well, she's a bit hard to follow, but after her 3rd essay, i found i
began to think like her writing. (eek?) i'm thinking that she may write
less linear than writers of the past. helene cixous suggests that many
women writers write cyclically and loopy --- curvy, if you will, which
mirrors our body consciousness. i like this idea! (though it suggests some
major problems, i know.)
can you suggest another fem sci fi critic that works as a better prose stylist?
