Sarah Kofman (1934-1994) was a French philosopher. Her primary thesis, later published as Nietzsche and Metaphor (1993), was supervised by Gilles Deleuze. In 1969 Kofman met Jacques Derrida and began attending his seminars at the Ecole Normale Supérieure. Kofman was the author of numerous books, including several on Nietzsche and on Freud. Her book, The Enigma of Woman: Woman in Freud's Writings (1985) is arguably the most thorough consideration of Freud's ideas concerning female sexuality. Sarah Kofman committed suicide on the date of Nietzsche's 150th birthday. Dr Patience Moll is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English at Tulane University. She has translated Kofman's work on Freud for Selected Writings of Sarah Kofman (Stanford UP 2007); contributed to the edition Encountering Derrida: Legacies and Futures of Deconstruction (Continuum 2008); lectured on Kofman and Derrida as a visiting Fellow in the Philosophy Programme at the University of Dundee; and studied with Derrida as a PhD student in Comparative Literature at the University of California, Irvine.
