L’ecriture [[feminine ]] (Tong, 211) is a term from Helene Cixous’ "The Laugh of the Medusa." [[Women ]] must learn to “write their bodies”, [[theory ]] that [[language ]] and [[sexuality ]] are intimately connected, women have been [[alienated ]] by [[male ]] language. Cixous declares that “if women dare to write out of their [[bodily ]] [[sexual]], [[unconscious ]] experiences unique to [[them ]] as women, the result will be not only personally liberating but will have the [[power ]] to smash the very [[structure ]] of patriarchy” (Tuttle, Lisa. Encyclopedia of [[Feminism]], Facts on File Publications, NY, 1986).
