Why read it?
1 author picked The Matrixial Borderspace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In her work, Bracha L. Ettinger proposes to depart in our thinking from a difference that is feminine and argues for the “matrixial” sphere as a corporeal locus that incarnates in our various human becomings toward the other – such as through compassion or empathy.

From Lenart's list on Antigone and feminist ethics.
