The product created by women there was invisible and could not be repeated. That product was not eternal, and it could neither be measured nor sold. In the real male-dominated world success of creativity was measured in terms of money, and since money became the dominant criterion for value, all other kinds of creativity were going to be ignored. That is why women and their own productions were excluded in the analyses of the condition of excellence. Their kind of creativity deviated from the general male definition.
Definition creates realityand repetition creates truth.
Therefore creativity should be redefined. It can not be reduced to a product-oriented form but must include all sorts of spontaneous forms of new thinking and acting. The discussion about the crisis of the subject is an important part of the theory about the turn of the century. But it mainly concerns the analysis of the male subject. Since women were confronted with rigid and severe social attributions and imaginations which wanted them to be good mothers, faithful wives, worshipped goddesses, feared femmes fatales, they first had to discover what they really wanted to be.
