Paperback. Condition: New. For centuries, wild and strange stories have been told about the female body. Some empowering, many absurd, these myths have not only endured but continue to shape perceptions of women today.The Shrinking Goddess explores this legacy, gathering global tales about the female form and revealing how and w…hy generations of men have sought to interpret, control and 'tame' women. Mineke Schipper investigates the disappearance of the original creation figure, Mother Earth, from mainstream culture, and how women's bodies have been imagined ever since: from the demon daughter of New Mexico with a toothed vagina, to the Japanese supermarkets and European festivals offering 'breast puddings' as delicacies.Drawing on an extraordinary archive of art, literature and folklore, Schipper reclaims the female body as a place of power, creativity and possibility.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Wild and strange stories have circulated about the female body since antiquity. While legends of poisoned hymens and fanged vaginas circulated, the first female figure Mother Earth was recreated as a crooked rib. Ranging from the absurd to the empowering, these myths not only survive but con…tinue to wield power today.The Shrinking Goddess brings together myths about the female form and traces the subsequent male efforts to 'tame' it. Mineke Schipper examines how women's bodies have been represented since records began the first Venus and vulva figures date to 40,000 BCE and around the world.Drawing together the vast reservoir of myths, proverbs, art, science and scripture that shape how women are seen in the present day, Schipper reclaims the female body as a source of power.Readers of Angela Davis, Mary Beard, Audre Lorde, Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer will want to read this book.'Mineke Schipper provides a fascinating and wide-ranging compendium of fact and fiction through the ages.' J. M. Coetzee'Fascinatingly researched, clearly written and wonderfully illustrated, The Shrinking Goddess takes back the story of the female body and sexuality from patriarchal mythmakers, fearmongerers, and misogynists, both ancient and modern. Doing so, Mineke Schipper opens the way for a dialogue among people of all genders and sexualities seeking to topple the usual hierarchies and find another way, another world.' Jane Caputi'A cultural and anthropological study of misogyny via global artworks, texts, myths and proverbs. Only by seeing what has been done can we undo it.' New Statesman From ancient myths to modern culture, The Shrinking Goddess explores how stories about women's bodies wild, sacred, and strange have shaped our world. Mineke Schipper reclaims the female body as a source of power against centuries of attempts to control it.
