| Description: |
In this pioneering study, Gerda Lerner documents the twelve-hundred year struggle of women to free their minds from patriarchal thought, to create Women's History, and to achieve a feminist consciousness. She paints a series of fascinating portraits of figures who resisted patriarchal indoctrination, from mystics like Hildegard de Bingen, and Julian of Norwich, to women of great literary talent like Mary Wollstonecraft, and Emily Dickinson. These were the women who made individual, often similar, attempts to express women's thinking in male-dominated societies and which have led to the establishment of a now widespread feminist consciousness. |
| Synopsis: |
Lerner documents the twelve-hundred year struggle of women to free their minds from patriarchal thought, to create Women's History, and to achieve a feminist conciousness. Lerner argues that the millenia-old educational disadvantaging of women and their marginalization in the intellectual life of Western civilization retarded women's ability to comprehend their condition and to define their needs as a group. She shows the devastating impact on women's psychology of notions of their innate mental inferiority, reinforced by generations of the teachings of family, church, and state. In examining feminist biblical criticism, Lerner illustrates her most important insight - the discontinuity of Women's History. The book also embraces the life and works of individual women who resisted patriarchal indoctrination, from Hildegard de Bingen to Emily Dickinson. |
