I never knew you could write like this and call it academia!

I've never heard of her - I remember hearing about Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir each calling for ecriture feminine as a breaking-away from the form of narrative/academic writing developed under patriarchal society. I wonder about the same theoretical alignment presenting itself in fiction - or are experiments in form in fiction considered to be more self-contained, for aesthetics' sake and more New Criticism than related to those postmodern, deconstructionist, and gender theorists.

Cyberfeminist writing! wow, I'd love to see some of that! Thanks so much for the recommendations!
