Women Who Make a Fuss: The Unfaithful Daughters of Virginia Woolf - Univocal

Virginia Woolf, to whom university admittance had been forbidden, watched the universities open their doors. Though she was happy that her sisters could study in university libraries, she cautioned women against joining the procession of educated men and being co-opted into protecting a ?civilization? with values alien to women. Now, as Woolf?s disloyal (unfaithful) daughters, who have professional positions in Belgian universities, Isabelle Stengers and Vinciane Despret, along with a collective of women scholars in Belgium and France, question their academic careers and reexamine the place of women and their role in thinking, both inside and outside the university. They urge women to heed Woolf?s cry?Think We Must?and to always make a fuss about injustice, cruelty, and arrogance.
