Abstract

More than fifty years ago, Kate Millet announced, literary avant-gardes at the beginning of the twentieth century usually happened to be avant-gardes on everything but women condition. Nowadays scholars on Utopian Literacy still agree on that point. This paper claims feminism and feminist literacy to be more transgressive about sex-gender roles than it is usually accepted. Thus, this article invites its readers to recognize some gestures, implications and assumptions that male - utopian writers use as a frozen image of women and challenge transgression as the site of new subjects. The means to inscribe them starts by deconstructing naturalized concepts of sex- inscriptions as neutral.
