The challenge of the égoïste femme is not mere negation—it is the seizing of what was never given, the refusal to kneel, the triumph of unruly sovereignty.
In these pages, no allegiance is sworn and no permission asked. The Great Féminine Refusal is a whispered spell of undoing from une femme who belongs to no cause. It is a decadent revolt against collectivity, morality, and ideology—not theory, but artful sabotage.
This issue tears through the failures of feminism-as-institution, reclaims the unruly imagination, and restores the égoïste woman as a figure of insurrection, laughter, and luminous heresy. From ruthless critique to surrealist sabotage, from salon secrets to translations never before published in English, this is not a gesture of belonging but a scandal of freedom.
If you’ve ever tasted your own sovereignty and smiled at its audacity, this issue is already yours.
The Great Féminine Refusal: Neither Sister Nor Servant
Early Spring, 2025
CONTENTS:
I. Introduction. The Great Undoing
Tracing the path of d’une égoïste femme.
II. Against the Poverty of Thought
A ruthless critique of Dominique Karamazov’s The Poverty of Feminism —acknowledging seeds, shattering its failures, and offering an individualiste counter-theory.
III. Beyond Feminism: The Insurrection of the Égoïste Woman
Detailing feminism’s transformation into an institution and affirming the égoïste woman’s absolute refusal to submit.
IV. Dancing with Defiance
Rabelaisian laughter, the grotesque, and the carnivalesque as an individualiste revolt against today’s humorless order.
V. Beyond Wolfi, Beyond Lilith
A loving but total destruction of cher Wolfi Landstreicher’s Beyond Feminism and the counter-critique by Lilith—moving past both through one woman’s phantasm-free lens.
VI. An Egoist Anarcho-Surrealist Imagination
Un clin d'œil au cher Ron Sakolsky. Blending insurrectionary individualisme with surrealist rupture, undoing the dystopian present through the aesthetic sabotage of reality.
VII. Individualiste Heresy in the Salon
A praxis beyond affinity—on the return of private salons as spaces of intellectual insurrection, radical secrecy, and exquisite selection.
VIII. Adieu, But Not Goodbye
Closing the issue with a farewell to comfort—toward new paths of creation. This issue includes a peek at the next issue featuring unpublished Novatore, updates on translation endeavors including the Bonanno tomes, and a breakdown, comparison, and revolt: going beyond Stirner’s Creative Nothing and Mynona / Salomo Friedländer’s Creative Indifference. (This issue includes some of the first English translation of Schöpferische Indifferenz*.)*
