1938: (Her Attention to Performance as Instructive for Feminist Practice — For the Community of Women’s Rights Activists Intellectuals and Feminist Theorists Reading Comhaire-Sylvain’s Work Her Attention Not Only to the Script and Diction but Also to the Performance of the Words Being Instructive, Their Feminist Study and Political Practice Having to Account for and Connect Women at Multiple Registers of Being and Knowledge Reorienting Women to One Another Through a Shared Grammar of Gestures): For the community of women’s rights activists, intellectuals, and feminist theorists reading Comhaire-Sylvain’s work, her attention not only to the script and diction but also to the performance of the words was instructive. Their feminist study and political practice had to account for and connect women at multiple registers of being and knowledge, reorienting women to one another through a shared grammar of gestures — the written word alone was insufficient; the body, the voice, the gesture were equally valid texts in the feminist archive Comhaire-Sylvain was constructing.
