Feminist Interpretations of Mary Daly by Sarah Lucia Hoagland; Marilyn Frye

Essays placing radical lesbian feminist philosopher Mary Daly within the Western intellectual tradition she criticized. The contributors argue that Daly, though highly critical of Western philosophy and theology, reworked its themes to build her own systematic philosophy. Topics include subjectivity as an ongoing process of be-coming, the dilemmas of feminists in colonial nations speaking about violence against women elsewhere, the territoriality of lesbian and women's space, and the theological dimensions of twentieth-century philosophy.
