### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Extraordinary
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2013*

In eleven widely ranging essays, Irigaray considers female sexuality in contexts that are relevant to theories and practices of feminist ideals and mystic. This is a meticulous, knowledgeable, exacting, studious research. With cheerfulness, Irigaray, examines the writing and lectures of Freud and Lacan in their attempt to understand womanhood. Irigaray examines the difference between the experience of men and women. She does not attempt to separate gender from sex in our experience. Her work is provocative.She questions that the phallus is an organ of domination. How can phallogocentric language and commerce (world view)be revised to accommodate basic needs of women without their becoming objectified. Feminist theory is minutely examined, placed beneath microscopic thought, and analyzed with close deliberation. Luce Irigaray writes with a preponderance of ideas and proven theories. Kudos to those who challenge the outdated, stale theories of Sigmund Freud. The world has changed immensely since his stumbling theories were expounded, accepted, and revered by psychoanalytic male minds. At that time, the male family head ruled with an iron hand. Today, women are educated and liberated chiefly through their own efforts.

    Excellent critique of Freud
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2007*

This is Irigaray's best known book.  Although at times her linguistic approach is difficult (namely when she discusses Lacan), I found these essays & interviews fascinating and meaningful.  Essentially she presents a critique of Freud's conclusions on feminine sexuality; in his view, women exist only in relation to men; pretty much to provide pleasure and birth (hopefully male) babies.  Irigaray describes how this notion came to be--not because women are intrinsically passive and masochistic, but because historical, linguistic, and social conditions construct this situation.  She asks how women can be defined/seen/thought of just as women, not because of sexual capabilities.  How can phallogocentric structures of language and commerce (basically our whole worldview) be revised or destroyed to allow women to exist without being objectified and commodified?  It is unclear how optimisitc Irigaray is about this possibility, but her questioning has proved significant for many fields of study.  In my opinion chapter 4, The Power of Discourse and the Subordination of the Feminine, is the most succinct summary of her main ideas.

    Not my favorite
  

*by E***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2013*

There was very interesting to discuss in my Irreverence (Cross-disciplinary Philosophy/Art) class.  She does not have the best arguments I have seen.
