Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Wild and strange stories have circulated about the female body since antiquity. While legends of poisoned hymens and fanged vaginas circulated, the first female figure Mother Earth was recreated as a crooked rib. Ranging from the absurd to the empowering, these myths not only survive but con…tinue to wield power today.The Shrinking Goddess brings together myths about the female form and traces the subsequent male efforts to 'tame' it. Mineke Schipper examines how women's bodies have been represented since records began the first Venus and vulva figures date to 40,000 BCE and around the world.Drawing together the vast reservoir of myths, proverbs, art, science and scripture that shape how women are seen in the present day, Schipper reclaims the female body as a source of power.Readers of Angela Davis, Mary Beard, Audre Lorde, Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer will want to read this book.'Mineke Schipper provides a fascinating and wide-ranging compendium of fact and fiction through the ages.' J. M. Coetzee'Fascinatingly researched, clearly written and wonderfully illustrated, The Shrinking Goddess takes back the story of the female body and sexuality from patriarchal mythmakers, fearmongerers, and misogynists, both ancient and modern. Doing so, Mineke Schipper opens the way for a dialogue among people of all genders and sexualities seeking to topple the usual hierarchies and find another way, another world.' Jane Caputi'A cultural and anthropological study of misogyny via global artworks, texts, myths and proverbs. Only by seeing what has been done can we undo it.' New Statesman From ancient myths to modern culture, The Shrinking Goddess explores how stories about women's bodies wild, sacred, and strange have shaped our world. Mineke Schipper reclaims the female body as a source of power against centuries of attempts to control it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
