Monique Wittig: Partial Collection
Monique Wittig was a French lesbian feminist, co-founder of two important French feminist organizations, the Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (Women’s Liberation Movement) and Gouines Rouges (Red Dykes), as well as an important theoretical contributor to materialist feminism, lesbian feminism, and literary theory. She also wrote several novels and short stories that express her radical lesbian feminist visions of a world without sex or gender. Her texts express the material basis of women’s and lesbians oppression in heterosexuality and not in any sort of essentialist idea of womanhood. Wittig died in 2002 and was survived by her partner and collaborator Sande Zeig.

On Saturday, Chuck Berry died. And while it is true that he was a legendary musician, it is also true that 59 women filed a class-action lawsuit against Berry for filming them in the washroom and change room at his Missouri restaurant. (He settled out of court, paying out over $1.2 million.) Berry was allegedly sexually abusive, had a massive porn collection, and was charged with child abuse. In 1962, he was convicted of transporting a 14-year-old Indigenous girl across state lines in order to sexually exploit her.
Nonetheless, Berry has enjoyed a long, celebrated career. When his death was reported yesterday, numerous Good Liberals posted glowing accounts of Berry’s legacy.
"Peak liberal hypocrisy is idolizing men like Chuck Berry while vilifying feminists who put women first
