Whether accepting limits is a good thing, as Wittgenstein urges, or whether as Cavell claims "all selves are sided," are matters that can be argued about. A concern for truth, not just for voice, informs their quite stylized writings, and as readers we must bring our own concern for truth to bear on the claims that they urge on us. But, while this is true, it is also true that not any thought can be expressed in any voice. Certain voices and styles, themselves partly personal and partly historically situated and generated, make certain regions or aspects of truth available to us.
Here Battersby finds that there are indeed some important specificities to the female subject position. It is not that there is an ahistorical feminine style - involving, say, gentleness and emotional attunement - into which woman writers naturally fall. To think this, Battersby argues, is to essentialize away history and its possibilities of alternative subject positions. But there is nonetheless a specifically female, not feminine, subject position that is evident in the poetry of Mary Elizabeth Coleridge and the theoretical writings of Luce Irigaray.
