It is also the first to identify one of her original contributions to narrative art-a technique of \"superimposition\" or \"double exposure\" through which her books have explored topics now at the heart of feminist debate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentered around the subject of voice and silence, these issues include the interrelation between women's power and powerlessness, the interpenetration of the political and economic world with the world of the psyche, and the mechanisms through which oppressions on the basis of race, class, and gender operate as mutually shaping forces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eugenia C.
