Summary
Speculum of the Other Woman by Luce Irigaray is incontestably one of the most important works in feminist theory to have been published in this generation.

Critics Review
“The publication of these two translations is an event to be celebrated by feminists of all persuasions.”
“Speculum of the Other Woman is a major text in the post-1968 feminist inquiry in France. It will be of interest to feminists, psychoanalysts, philosophers, and literary critics.

Gill offers a remarkable performance in translating without betraying a very challenging text.”-Elaine Marks
