| Abstract: |
Argues that feminist criticism, and feminism more generally, have both feared and loved metaphor. Definition of metaphor less as a specific formal figure and more as a rhetorical strategy, using substitution to establish a kind of ontological third space or free zone; Distinction between a metaphor and a simile in practice becomes blurred. |
