Question for /lit/erate women:

Will woman ever break free of the tyranny of the phallocentric patriarchy and fashion for herself an écriture feminine with which to express the female imaginary?

No.

Depends on how much dick they are willing to suck on the way up to mass relevancy.

This was a response to Lacan who claimed that women will never be able to express what they want.

So the rowdy french feminists started to write "of the body" and of "ecriture feminine" and they held up Joyce's Penelope chapter as an example.

Does anyone read Cixous or Kristeva and feel like, "OH SNAP LACAN BTFO!" No. No one does.

The massive success of Meyers and Rowling sure stink of patriarchy, bro.
Pic related, perhaps their most prestigious victim.

Drivel this, pleb that, they hit it just as about as big as is possible in the writing, while gaining a wide and adoring audience. The world said we like this, and the gender of the authors was irrelevant to conversation. Well, perhaps with Meyer, but that's mainly with her kooky Mormon take on marrriage and love.

"The Hour of the Star" is by now the worse book I read this year. Even The Alchemist is better.

Her other books are quite different though.

People say THotS is her bowing down to the critics pledges.

not that guy but i remember being told by my mom when she bought me the books years ago that the author was a single mother. everyone thought it was so nice that a single mother wrote the books. i remember it being mentioned over and over on tv when they were blowing up. no one would have cared if it was just a name with nothing attached.

I never understand how this is a thing. Whats holding women back? things in books shaped like a tube with a cone on the end? self consciousness? Literally just know something and be good at it and people can respect that. You(and everyone else) will always have people who will hate your success, but thats life and no matter how many poetry slams you attend, that will never go away.

This applies for most western civilization, where oppression is people making mean jokes, or marketing to a group that isn't you, or creating creative works in the way in which they please

Perhaps it helped launch the whole thing early on with some topical press, but people eventually settled into the usual anticipation of the next release, discussing favorite Hogwarts houses and the like. Any competent agent/publishing company would have seen the goldmine to be cashed, either way.
