About this book
Reviews
'This exchange of letters offers all the suspense of a debate and, at the same time, the warmth - in both senses - of a conversation. Clément and Kristeva develop and double back on their respective positions passionately, but also generously, and without closure. In consequence, both move a little, echoing and differing by turns, as they discuss political resistance, mysticism, bisexuality, motherhood, love and death. This book is evidence that dissension can produce brilliant insights. I had difficulty in putting it down.' -
Professor Catherine Belsey, Cardiff University
The...book is...exhilirating. I opened The Feminine and the Sacred with no great expectation that it would prove illuminating. I was wrong.' - Richard Poole, The Welsh Internationalist
'This exciting and passionate book confronts two controversial topics and brings them into creative juxtaposition...rich correspondence shows that there is still a great deal of mileage in the notion of sacredness, and that women can play an important role in its restoration.' - Karen Armstrong, The Independent
