Woman for women – There always remains in woman that force which produces/is produced by the other – in particular, the other woman. In her, matrix, cradler; herself giver as her mother and child; she is her own sister-daughter. … Everything will be changed once woman gives woman to the other woman. There is hidden and always ready in woman the source; the locus for the other,always ready in woman the source; the locus for the other. The mother, too, is a metaphor. It is necessary and sufficient that the best of herself be given to woman by another woman for her to be able to love herself and return in love the body that was ‘born’ to her. Touch me, caress me, you the living no-name, give me my self as myself. Hélène Cixous, The Laugh of the Medusa, 1976.
