Monique Wittig was a French feminist philosopher who argued that gender is enforced through language systems as evidenced by grammar. She believed that both French and English are gendered languages that shape social reality, with personal pronouns colonizing the universal subject position and depriving women of authority over language. Wittig analyzed how gender functions in and is shaped by language.
