ISBN: 9780060115111.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this famously provocative cornerstone of feminist literature, Susan Griffin explores the identification of women with the earthâ both as sustenance for humanity and as victim of male rage. Starting from Platoâ s fateful division of the world into spirit and matter, her analysis of how patriarchal Western philosophy and religion have used language and science to bolster their power over both women and nature is brilliant and persuasive, coming alive in poetic prose.\nGriffin draws on an astonishing range of sourcesâ from timbering manuals to medical texts to Scripture and classical literatureâ in showing how destructive has been the impulse to disembody the human soul, and how the long separated might once more be rejoined. Poet Adrienne Rich calls Woman and Nature â perhaps the most extraordinary nonfiction work to have merged from the matrix of contemporary female consciousnessâ a fusion of patriarchal science, ecology, female history and feminism, written by a poet who has created a new form for her vision. ...The book has the impact of a great film or a fresco; yet it is intimately personal, touching to the quick of womanâ s experience.â\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harper \u0026 Row","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44962853191733,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060115114","price":91.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060115111_6cd7f72c-ad91-4c2c-8afd-2dad5ea62c06.jpg?v=1792718394","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/woman-and-nature-the-roaring-inside-her-9780060115111","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
