Female Genesis: Creativity, Self and Gender - Tapa dura

From a dual French-Anglo feminist viewpoint, Jouve (English and related literature, U. of York, England) counters some postmodernists who seek to deconstruct gender. Writing as a "gendered autobiographical subject," she presents inclusive arguments about gendering the female, the battle of the sexes and WW I, the female creator (including "troublesome mothers"), gender in metaphor and narrative, and new directions in affirming human and divine wholeness.
