| Popis: | In order to be safe, I think I had best give what I am doing its own name. Let me, like Audre Lorde did in Zami, call this a biomythography. Like Lorde, I am doing it for the same purpose. I wish to uncover from racist patriarchal myths a story of wholeness: Woman forever. My body a living representation of other life older longer wiser. The mountains and valleys, trees, rocks. Sand and flowers and water and stone. Made in earth. (Lorde 1982, xvi) |
