In this incisive essay, Anne Carson examines the historical and cultural associations between gender and the vocal apparatus. By tracing the silencing of the female voice from antiquity to the modern era, Carson explores how sound has been categorized, policed, and gendered throughout Western literature. Her analysis bridges classical scholarship and contemporary feminist theory to reveal the power dynamics inherent in speech and silence.
