More about the book
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.
