Luce Irigaray is one of the leading French feminist philosophers and psychoanalysts. Her work is concerned primarily with the construction of feminity and sexual differences in Western philosophy and with the exploration of new psychoanalytical and feminist perspectives on sexual differences. She has written a number of influential books, notably "Speculum of the Other Woman" and "This Sex Which Is Not One", both translated into English. "The Irigaray Reader" is a collection of Luce Irigaray's most important papers to date. They range across feminism, philosophy, psychoanalysis and linuistics, and are grouped here into three broad sections: the critique of patriarchy, psychoanalysis and language, and ethics and subjectivity. Each section begins with an introduction by Margaret Whitford, and the book also includes bibliographies of works by and about Irigaray. A number of pieces in "The Iriganay Reader" appear for the first time in English.
