- Description
- This book presents a role of women in contemporary Western society by investigating the re-emergence of female trickster energy in all aspects of popular culture. Tannen explores the psychological aspects of what happened when womens imagination was legally and psychologically enclosed millennia ago and demonstrates how the re-emergence of Trickster energy through the female imagination has the radical potential to effect a transformation of western consciousness. Examples are drawn from a diverse range of sources, from Jane Austen, and female sleuth narratives, to Madonna and Sex and the City, illustrating how Trickster energy is used not to maintain power and control but to integrate and unite the paradoxical through humour.
