Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. 24 cm. [10], 385, [5] pages. Appendixes: A. A Brief History of Patriarchy and B. Definitions. Recommended Reading List. Bibliography. Index. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads To Janet Best Wishes, Mary Hugh Scott 1997. Some wear to DJ edges and corners, some soiling to DJ. Mary Hugh Scott writes about the problems of being human--the hopes and fears of men and women face-to-face with the changing reality of a world on the brink of a new century. The author has acquired a unique ability to see reality as it is--not as it is taught by anyone claiming to have a monopoly on truth and/or reality. Spiced with humor and imagination and leavened with love, THE PASSION OF BEING WOMAN explores a revolutionary solution that will take women and men beyond the impasse of both the women's and men's movements. Ours is a literal world. We spend so many words arguing the fundamental truth of a few ancient metaphors that we finally close them to personal meaning. Or we commit our energies to washing every literary form and figure of speech cleanly away to protect our definitions of correctness and to make everyday thinking even safer. But the arguing gives us doctrines. And the purging denies us poetry. And when all the metaphors are gone, we find we've lost the richest ways of knowing. We find we've even narrowed the possibility. This is one from a line of speculative, dimensional, and metaphorical books that will Challenge conventional wisdom, Offer alternative theories, Recreate noumenal experiences, Reach for poetry, and Promise other ways of knowing. The most rewarding reading addresses us personally and challenges what we believe. The ancient myth of Psyche and Eros holds the key to transforming men's and women's relationships today. Scott's solution is based on freeing and empowering women.
