DALY'S FOURTH BOOK - CONTINUES HER PROGRESSION
15. September 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Mary Daly (1928-2010) was a radical feminist philosopher and theologian who taught at Jesuit-run Boston College for 33 years; she retired in 1999, after a discrimination claim was filed against the college by two male students who claimed to want to be admitted to her advanced Womens Studies courses. She also wrote the books The Church and the Second Sex, Beyond God the Father: Toward a Philosophy of Women's Liberation, Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism, Websters' First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language, Outercourse: The Be-Dazzling Voyage, QUINTESSENCE: Realizing the Archaic Future A Radical Elemental Feminist Manifesto, and Amazon Grace: Re-Calling the Courage to Sin Big.
She wrote in the Preface to this 1984 book, "This book is being published in the 1980s---a period of extreme danger for women and for our sister the earth and her other creatures... (this) is a sister-work to my books 'Beyond God the Father' and 'Gyn/Ecology.' In some ways, (book) can be seen as the parthenogenic daughters of those earlier works... (which) continues the Otherworld Journey of Exorcism and Ecstasy... I hasten to explain that ... Chiefly, it is a Work of Feminist Erraticism..."
Here are some additional quotations from the book:
"Metaphors are necessary for Elemental feminist philosophy, for this is about and IS transformation, movement." (Pg. 26)
"Of course, if a significant cognitive minority of women ever should re-member Elemental powers and our connections with the elements, the most powerful threat to the patriarchal system ... would be unleashed." (Pg. 98)
"The doctrine (of the immaculate conception) certainly can be read as an expression of the impotent priests' hatred of Female Power." (Pg. 104)
"Feminism is a name for our moving/movement into Metabeing." (Pg. 194)
"Undaunted women become Dauntless and Undauntable. valuing be-ing, women are Valorous/Valiant. As Amazons, women are Audacious. As Phoenixes we are Intrepid, Fearless, rising from the fires that were meant to destroy, entering the Fire that we mean to enjoy." (Pg. 285)
"Women in academia are killed softly 'his words,' by the proliferation of bland and boring texts, by the obligation always to return to elementary consciousness-raising (consciousness-razing)---(an) objective achieved simply enough by the requirement that males be admitted to Women's Studies classes. Women's Studies thus can serve the establishment of Boredom, becoming an agency of anti-Change, anti-Metamorphosis." (Pg. 324)

superb and threatening to males
19. Dezember 1998
Format:Taschenbuch
I really love this book, and I really love Mary Daly. Who else could expose the white male agenda of hatred with greater aplomb while focusing exclusively on Women! This is a treat, both intellectually and emotionally. Mary Daly is a genius.

A-mazing!!! And definitely not A-musing....
30. März 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
A thought provoking, fun, enlightening, frightening, epic work that is not for the feint at heart. Ms. Daly is poetic, hectic, a wonderful Webster indeed. If you are white and male, be prepared but try not to put up too many defenses--read and try to understand what 4000+ years of oppression has wrought. If you are female and you don't read this work, you have done a diservice to yourself, your mothers, your daughters, and all of humankind. Ms. Daly has shaken my slumber and kicked my rear and said the work is not yet done.
