Notes

¹For further discussion of these ideas see Kaye, Jacqueline, and Abdelhamid Zoubir (1990) The Ambiguous Compromise: Language, Literature and National Identity in Algeria and Morocco. London: Routledge.

²By universal woman I refer to the feminine version of the classic liberal human subject, a construction which assumes that all women share common interests on the basis of their gender.

³This enumeration of categories of othered women is not an exhaustive list.

⁴See for example the 2010 issue (no 17) of Cahiers du CEDREF, an important French feminist periodical on gender and postcolonial perspectives.
