God's Phallus explores the dilemmas created by the maleness of God for the men of ancient Judaism and for Jewish men today.
Whereas many books look at how women's "bodies" are represented in
different religions and cultures around the world, this work
explores the site of a woman's voice and identity, her "head," The
female head threatens to disrupt the classic gender distinctions
that link men to speech, identity, and mind while relegating women
to silence, anonymity, and flesh. The contributors to this
collection argue that the objectification of women as sexual and
reproductive bodies results in their symbolic beheading.
Decapitation occurs symbolically in myths as well as in actual
practices such as veiling, head covering, and cosmetic
highlighting, which by sexualizing a woman's face turns it into an
extension of her body.
