Opis

Women and Dionysus links repression of the Dionysian spirit in Western culture with the rise of the patriarchy over the course of two millennia. It effectively draws the connection between Dionysus and women throughout history, with examples from cultures both past and present, and the author’s own experiences.

Recenzje

"One of the challenges of modern life is how to live in a creative and fulfilling fashion when the culture makes such strong demands for conformity and commercially defined productivity. In her book Women and Dionysus: Appearances and Exile in History, Culture, and Myth, Maggy Anthony addresses this problematic and its history through the lives of women who have forged unique paths to living such lives, providing inspiration for others to forge their own paths to living creative and fulfilling lives."— Oliver Ocskay, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist, US
