Melissa Raphael

Religion, Feminism, and Idoloclasm

Being and Becoming in the Women's Liberation Movement

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examining a period of feminist theory, theology, and culture from about 1965 to 2010, this book shows that secular, as well as Christian, Jewish, and post-Christian feminists drew on ancient and modern tropes of redemption from slavery to idols or false ideas as a means of overcoming the alienation of women's being from their own becoming.
