<p>194.69.32.50: ricbastrchi</p> <hr /> <div>relbastr<br /> Feminist novelist, activist, and theorist; born in Alsace, educated at the Sorbonne, immigrated to the US in 1976. <br /> <br /> Monique Wittig’s first novel, [[L’Opoponax]], was published with great critical acclaim when she was 28 and was awarded the Prix Médicis. Her next novel, [[Les Guérillères]], a classic of [[second-wave feminism]], declared war on gender itself, and urged women, when lacking historical precedent or role models, to invent the history they need. As a theorist, she expanded on Simone de Beauvoir’s dictum that “one is not born a woman” to insist that she was a lesbian, not a woman, and that lesbians are not women because they live in defiance of the heterosexual “contract” that defines “woman.” The prose poems of her third work, [[Le Corps Lesbien]], which “lesbianized” key mythic and historical figures of the Western tradition, assumed for its lesbian narrator the subject position of the lover desiring a beloved, a narrative position that has traditionally been reserved for males. [[Lesbian Peoples]], her fourth work, written with Sande Zeig, invents a new history, presented in the form of a work of reference. And her last novel, [[Virgile, Non]], [[parodies and retellings|recasts]] Dante’s Divine Comedy for a lesbian living in modern-day San Francisco. <br /> <br /> Monique Wittig died on January 3, 2003, in Tucson, Arizona. <br /> <br /> == Bibliography ==<br /> <br /> === Novels ===<br /> * ''[[The Opoponox]]'' (1966) ([[tr.
