OverviewWhat characterizes women as a group is our colonized status. To be colonized is not to think for oneself, to think on behalf of ""the other"", to put one's emotions to work in service of ""the other"". In short, not to exist. Nicole Brossard is known internationally for her writings on feminism, on lesbian existence and on writing. This edition released for a new wave of feminist outrage is a book full of spirit, energy, insight and cheek. She is a major voice in contemporary literature with incisive and inspiring essays about feminist imagination and culture. Nicole Brossard writes, ""I believe there's only one explanation for all of these texts: my desire and my will to understand patriarchal reality and how it works, not for its own sake but for its tragic consequences in the lives of women, in the life of the spirit. Years of anger, revolt, certitude and conviction are in The Aerial Letter, years of fighting against the screen which stands in the way of women's energy, identity and creativity.""
