Rosi Braidotti, in Patterns of Dissonance (Oxford: Polity Press, 1991), and even Irigaray herself believed Deleuze deflected from a feminist focus on sexual difference, more recent feminist texts have seen the possibility of a more fruitful and productive interchange between Deleuzian thought and feminist theory.
