"Qu’est-ce que se sentir femme aujourd’hui ? L’opinion commune, fond�e sur la diff�rence des sexes, postule l’existence d’une � nature f�minine � li�e � la capacit� d’enfanter. Contre cette conception r�gressive, cet essai percutant appelle � ne pas d�faire ce que les g�n�rations pr�c�dentes avaient conquis : � r�sister � la tentation de P�n�lope. Car c’est � partir d’une f�minit� r�ellement v�cue qu’un f�minisme qui ne serait ni abstrait ni belliqueux est ici envisag�.
J’ai plac� le d�sir au centre du livre : c’est parce que nous aimons les hommes et les d�sirons que nous cherchons les moyens de mieux vivre ensemble. J’ai plac� la libert� comme moteur et comme horizon : contre les revendications identitaires, elle seule permet de travailler � se d�gager des vieux mod�les et des pr�jug�s, pour pouvoir r�inventer sans cesse nos vies. L’essai est b�ti sur trois modes tress�s : l’implication personnelle (car de quel surplomb pourrais-je parler d’une question aussi intime qu’elle est partag�e ?) ; la r�flexion autour des repr�sentations (toujours historiques) de la diff�rence des sexes, des genres et de la sexualit� ; et la discussion de certains travaux f�ministes r�cents. Trente-six brefs chapitres �voquent le cerveau des femmes, l’ali�nation, la politique, la beaut� des hommes, le non-d�sir d’enfant, la possibilit� de la suspension des genres, la prostitution, etc.
Livre modeste parce qu’il est �crit sur le mode du � pour l’instant � : demain nous r�serve tant de surprises. Livre d’optimisme parce que l’�galit� est en marche, inexorable, si nous ne la ralentissons pas nous-m�mes. Livre d’engagement enfin parce que, traquant les repr�sentations qui nuisent � l’�mancipation et essayant d’imaginer les chemins de l’�galit�, il d�ploie quelques profondes convictions."
