Produktbeschreibung
I, Magdalena envisions the life of one of the most mysterious women of the bible. She features prominently, but without background, into the story of Jesus. Easily dismissed as a prostitute and often confused with a more prominent figure in the story of Christ, little is known of this woman for whom Jesus seemed to show great empathy. Imagining her life as an independent, artistic free spirit struggling to make her way through the patriarchy of her time, Magdalena is seen through a modern sociological perspective. To help Magdalena endure the immurement of a woman's life, her mother created a story of stars that ruled music and dance and chose Magdalena as their own. Driven by this story, and imagination, hope, and her mother's voice, Magdalena faces loss, abuse, and abandonment to find her own advocacy and decide her own destiny.

The author is a physiologist and lifetime student of philosophy and world religions. Beginning her education as a sociologist, she turned to dance and then curative movement and physiology to work primarily with women and women's health for nearly 50 years. Stories in the bible have long been told and manipulated by men, and with a woman's and a sociological perspective, the author imagines the real life of two of the most notorious women in the New Testament. This book explores two such stories.
