Monique Wittig
Definition
- Monique Wittig (1935–2003), a French novelist, philosopher, poet, and activist, made important contributions to feminist and gay and lesbian theory by developing an original approach that she labeled materialist feminism. Under this heading, she sought to expose sexual difference as a political division that masquerades as natural and serves to legitimate the subordination of women.
