Her last film was Saratoga. Harlow was known as an excellent comical actress. By 1937, she had taken her mother's maiden name, Hayworth, and was appearing regularly in supporting roles. Her daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan, continues as a prominent leader in the fight against Alzheimer's. Irigaray finds that, throughout the entire Western philosophical tradition from Plato to Freud, women are the 'sex' which is not 'one'.
Western knowledge is shaped by masculinity.
Women's desires are not represented and the feminine is suppressed. Irigaray argues that social language is masculine which women can only mimic, and she praises the radical otherness of women's eroticism. She seeks to affirm the continual diffuse 'jouissance' of women, which will generate a new mode of libidinal functioning. In order to liberate women's desires a total reevaluation of existing culture is necessary, because culture is based on the exchange of women. Irigaray's strategies for dismantling phallocentric language are mimetism, syntax change and a use of 'excess'.
