A passionate celebrator of "sexual difference," Luce Irigaray was never simply a
fter the social equality that her generation so publicly demanded. She was seeki
ng more fundamentally a society that celebrated the differences between the gend
ers and their coming together in a union without hierarchy. As she formulates it
in this compellingly readable introduction to her own thought, Irigaray is writ
ing about how "I" and "You" become "We." Exploring along the way women's experie
nces of motherhood, abortion, the AIDS crisis and the beauty industry, this book
presents one of the most important thinkers of our day in her own words.
