In research of the connection of the power of language with feministic theory, Helene Cixous is a seminal writer and theorist to turn to.
She points out the importance of writing for women:
“To write. An act which will not only "realize" the decensored relation of woman to her sexuality, to her womanly being, giving her access to her native strength; it will give her back her goods, her pleasures, her organs, her immense bodily territories which have been kept under seal; it will tear her away from the superegoized structure in which she has always occupied the place reserved for the guilty…A woman without a body, dumb, blind or at least been standing, sitting bolt upright , can't possibly be a good fighter.”
