Grabbing Their Own Pussies: Reclaiming Trauma and the Female Voice in Toni Morrison’s Paradise and Kathy Acker’s Blood and Guts in High SchoolFroom, Chloe 19 May 2017 (has links)
Toni Morrison and Kathy Acker write their novels within the subversive feminist literary movement described by Helene Cixous in “Laugh of the Medusa”. Through Morrison’s Paradise and Acker’s Blood and Guts in High School they create a platform for women silenced by their bodily trauma to express and eventually liberate themselves from their traumatic pasts. These female writers are calling attention to the pandemic of misogyny-related violence and allowing assault survivors to speak through their pain.
