From a feminist poststructuralist perspective authorship cannot be the source of the authority of meaning any more than the individual speaking subject, the agent of discourse, is its origin. This is not, however, to say that there is no place in feminist criticism for a study of authors, provided the critics recognize that accounts of authors are themselves discursive constructs and not a key to meaning … In choosing a mode of reading we need to ask what useful political questions it answers. To be politically effective a reading needs to address the ideological and political concerns of the present-day reader. (Weedon, 1987: 162–3) History is not kind to us / we restitch it with living / past memory forward / into desire / into the panic articulation / of want without having / or even the promise of getting. (Lorde, ‘On my way out I Passed over you and the Verrazano Bridge’, 1986: 57)
