Mary Daly

    October 16, 1928 – January 3, 2010

    Mary Daly was a radical feminist philosopher and theologian who described herself as a 'radical lesbian feminist'. She taught at Boston College, a Jesuit institution, for 33 years, ultimately retiring after violating university policy by refusing male students in her advanced women's studies courses. While she allowed men in introductory classes and tutored them privately for advanced study, her stance highlighted her uncompromising approach to feminist scholarship. Daly's work delves into radical feminist philosophy and theology.

      This philosophical autobiography of the world's foremost radical feminist philosopher offers an imaginative chronicle of Mary Daly's voyage. Daly sees her work as that of a pirate, righteously plundering treasures of knowledge that have been stolen and hidden from women. In this inventive blend of autobiography and visionary philosophy, she reveals her struggles to smuggle back these treasures and to distinguish them from their mindbinding trappings. Outercourse brilliantly recounts Daly's debunking of patriarchal thought and blazes new paths to freedom by enabling women to discover the hidden connections that make sense of their lives.

      Mary Daly's book consists of three sections. In the first, she describes the impact of old and new myths on women's selves. In the second, she examines destructive practices against women from various times and cultures: widow burning in India, foot binding in China, genital mutilation in Africa, witch hunts in Europe, modern American gynecology, and Nazi medicine. In the third section, Mary Daly identifies the counterforces that women can develop: sparking in the sense of igniting - the fire of women's friendship; spinning in the mythical sense of the word - weaving new times/places.
