Makes key excerpts from Daly's work accessible to readers who are
seeking to access the essence of her thought in a single volume.
Outrageous, humorous, inflammatory, Amazonian, intellectual,
provocative, controversial, and a discoverer of Feminist
word-magic, Mary Daly's influence on Second Wave feminism was
enormous. She burst through constraints to articulate new ways of
being female and alive. This comprehensive reader offers a vital
introduction to the core of Daly's work and the complexities
secreted away in the pages of her books. Her major
theories-Bio-philia, Be-ing as Verb, and the life force within
words-and major controversies-relating to race, transgender
identity, and separatism-are all covered, and the editors have
provided introductions to each selection for context. The text has
been crafted to be accessible to a broad readership, without
diluting Daly's witty but complicated vocabulary. Begun in
collaboration with Daly while she was still alive, and completed
after her death in 2010, the chapters in this book will surprise
even those who thought they knew her work. They contain highlights
from Mary Daly's published works over a forty-year span, including
her major books Beyond God the Father, Gyn/Ecology, and Pure Lust,
as well as smaller articles and excerpts, with additional
contributions from Robin Morgan and Mary E. Hunt. Perfect for those
seeking an introduction to this path-breaking feminist thinker, The
Mary Daly Reader makes key excerpts from her work accessible to new
readers as well as those already familiar with her work who are
seeking to access the essence of her thought in a single volume.
