Hardback. Condition: New. For centuries, wild and strange stories have been told about the female body. Some empowering, many absurd, these myths have not only endured but continue to shape perceptions of women today. The Shrinking Goddess explores this legacy, gathering global tales about the female form and revealing how and w…hy generations of men have sought to interpret, control and 'tame' women. Mineke Schipper investigates the disappearance of the original creation figure, Mother Earth, from mainstream culture, and how women's bodies have been imagined ever since: from the demon daughter of New Mexico with a toothed vagina, to the Japanese supermarkets and European festivals offering 'breast puddings' as delicacies. Drawing on an extraordinary archive of art, literature and folklore, Schipper reclaims the female body as a place of power, creativity and possibility.

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.'
