"Because she arrives,
vibrant,
over and over
again; we
are at the beginning
of a new history,
or rather a process
of becoming
in which several
histories
intersect with
one another.
As a subject for
history, woman
always occurs
simultaneously
in several places.
(In woman,
personal history
blends together
with the history
of all women,
as well as national
and world history.)"
--Helene Cixous, quoted in Bhanu Kapil's
The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers
