Monique Wittig (French: [vitig]; 13 July 1935 – 3 January 2003) was a French author, philosopher, and feminist theorist[1] who wrote about abolition of the sex-class system and coined the phrase "heterosexual contract." Her groundbreaking work is titled The Straight Mind and Other Essays. She published her first novel, L'Opoponax, in 1964. Her second novel, Les Guérillères (1969), was a landmark in lesbian feminism.[2]
