Beschreibung

The role of women and Tantra is controversial - traditionally the feminine is a metaphor and actual women are absent, or it involves the transgressive use of women's bodies to serve male interests. Biernacki presents a view in which women are revered, using texts from the 15th to 18th centuries, to reveal a positive and empowering view of women.

Pressestimmen

"A rhetorically and poetically beautiful piece of scholarship that incorporates the best of previous work but moves well beyond it into a fundamentally new set of ideas about female agency and speech, the Tantric sex rite, male asceticism, and transcultural encounter. Biernacki's corpus or bodied speech is as blue and as powerful as the Tantric goddesses she writes about." --Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Esalen: America and the Religion of No Religion
