![]() ![]() In short, Russ demonstrates Judith Butler's suggestion that women can "speak their way out of their gender. ![]() Of these, the most successful is language, which allows women to kill the myth of Woman and to abolish the class of women. Russ's literary war machine deploys various weapons against the Straight Mind. Joanna becomes the female man by appropriating language and therefore "resolv contrarieties, unit them in her own person," and in this way she destroys gender as Witting describes by "lay claim to universality." Russ contrasts Joanna's solution with the alternative worlds inhabited by Janet (on the all-women utopian Whileaway) and by the cyborg Jael (on the dystopian world of warring Manland and Womanland). Widely acknowledged as Joanna Russs masterpiece, The Female Man is the suspenseful, surprising, darkly witty, and boldly subversive chronicle of what happens when Jeannine, Janet, Joanna, and Jaelall living in parallel worldsmeet. In responding to the straight mind and to the consequences of being the female Other, one character from "our world," Joanna, changes into a female man. ![]() She also shows two alternative worlds that further undermine, but do not solve, the way heterosexual institutions regulate gender. The novel functions as what Monique Witting calls a "literary war machine" because it tries "to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions." Specifically, Russ critiques the "straight mind"-heterosexual institutions that regulate gender-by showing how two representatives from "our world" respond to those institutions. ![]() In "The Female Man" Russ contrasts our present-day heterosexual society with two revolutionary alternatives: a utopian world of women and a dystopian world of women warring with men. ![]()
