The straight mind and other essays presents a collection of nine political and philosophical essays by the feminist theorist and founder of the modern French women’s movement.
In April 1979, Wittig delivered her essay, ”The Straight Mind”, as the morning keynote address at Barnard College’s event, ”The Scholar and the Feminist Conference, The Future of Difference”. The essay appeared in French in Questions féministes, where the editorial collective, which included Wittig, splintered over ”the lesbian question” leading to a dissolution of the collective and end to the publication.[4] It also appeared in English in Feminist Issues.
