Price: $17.95

TENTH PRINTING.

"A powerful and provocative narrative... Looking for Livingstone provides the next step in feminist theorizings of language and silence. Moving beyond the experiments of Irigaray and Wittig, Philip uses history, geography, and race as well as gender to explore the multiple expressions of silence in its ongoing intercourse with the word." -- Cristanne Miller.
