I realize this is considered a classic in feminist literature, but it is not anything like what I was expecting and I found Griffin's stream of consciousness style to be very distracting. This is not a coherent narrative of any sort, and might more properly be described as "prose poetry," at times somewhat in the direction of beat poetry. There were parts I found quite profound, when some aspects of traditional misogyny were contrasted, by free association, with cows and other domesticated animals. Women have traditionally been subjugated in ways that make them more animal than human in terms of the way that men seem to view their role, and this is where Griffin speaks powerful truth. My problem is that these moments of insight were lost in the tangle of, at times, numbing tumble of words and ideas. ( ) My primary response to this work was gratitude - it's easy to forget, forty years later, the monumental nature of the silence that was broken by second wave feminism, and this torrent of well-chosen words is the sound of the dam breaking. Much of it should be read aloud, I think, for full impact. "Because we know we are of this earth" - Griffin's work will only cease to be relevant when and if this realization fully dawns on humanity. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A seminal work of the eco-feminist movement, connecting patriarchal society's mistreatment of women with its disregard for the Earth's ecological well-being Woman and Nature draws from a vast and enthralling array of literary, scientific, and philosophical texts in order to explore the relationship between the denigration of women and the disregard for the Earth. In this singular work of love, passion, rage, and beauty, Susan Griffin ingeniously blends history, feminist philosophy, and environmental concerns, employing her acclaimed poetic sensibilities to question the mores of Western society. Griffin touches upon subjects as diverse as witch hunts, strip mining, Freudian psychology, and the suppression of sexuality to decry a long-standing history of misogyny and environmental abuse. A sometimes aggravating, often inspiring, and always insightful literary collage, this remarkable volume offers sanity, poetry, intelligence, and illumination.
