Female genesis (1998)

Literary Fiction

Nicole Ward Jouve

Year: 1998
Authors: Nicole Ward Jouve
Print type: BOOK

Description:

Is creation male, as the Bible seems to suggest? Does creativity always belong to the male element? Is there no female genesis? This exciting book argues against fashionable trends in contemporary feminisms that wish to abandon 'woman' as a flawed and oppressive term, regarding masculinity and femininity as unwanted binaries that attempt to subvert gender as oppression. Instead the author argues for the need to revalue feminine origins, to make room for the feminine element in creation and explore the predicament of the female creator.
