These books are bubbling beneath the dust of libraries decorative asleep. ---- The
Eugu?lionne is a feminist book published in 1976 by ??Louky Bersianik. This book had the
effect of a bomb at the time and unfortunately found at the bottom of a library bar,
without you never made ??me hand in my literature class. Yet! ---- The Eugu?lionne, an
alien who arrives on Earth to find her male counterpart, quickly realizes male supremacy,
"Man" makes less abroad and all that is different. And it is from this vein that the
Eugu?lionne will review hundreds of ideas about women and the domination of man in
humanity. It should be recognized that against the first steps of this science fiction
clich?s seem a little, a bit easier or just hard to imagine that this Eugu?lionne and
alien world.
I must say that all this seems a bit heavy. And it is at this point that we understand our
tags on reality and fiction do more, they should fall, that will be read as an exercise in
itself by its density by his remarks. The Eugu?lionne disarticulation is a complex and
strong patriarchal thought, its "blister" and its grip on the second sex. I put two single
quotes here, but they say too little about the effect of the confrontation with these
thought processes overrated.
"And how high these fathers they sang the victory of one of those who had managed to break
into the enclosure ... The son would they now doubt the power of the conqueror? Would they
wonder if the opening was made and suddenly had not depended also on the besieged, so that
this place did not let invade? And if it was she who decided to let one of his assailants,
one in particular, was it not because she knew overawe the crowd milling around her? "The
Eugu?lionne explaining fertilization "Human Egg", p. 247.
Finally, anarchy, freedom and oppression are briefly during playback, but are in no way a
central topic. Political and collective thing remains the same as anatomy, grammar and
sexuality, to name only a few topics. Finally, the poetry of the Eugu?lionne will know
about the feminist circle around a creative force. However, the choice to use science
fiction leaves me a bit puzzled, especially since it is not so developed. We must admit,
however, that is the subject in the context of a vision altogether external to the Earth
and allows a look all the more critical.
"The real historical dramas occurred more often on tables in childbirth and abortion
pharmacies on the battlefield or in the parliaments. And yet, no history book does mention
because women do not participate in history. ", P.269
