- Description
- Book about Morgan la Fey, the sister of King Arthur in Arthurian literature. It explores the shifting portrayal of Morgan from Celtic Sovereignity goddess to cartoon supervillain and it reveals her identity through an investigation of the 'enchantress' evolution over the past millennium and its implications for gender relations today. While Western culture consistently seeks to control female sexuality by categorizing a woman's identity into either a mother or a lover, i.e. a Madonna or a whore, Morgan offers a unique duality, a refusal to let her identity be fractured. Here, Kristina Pérez makes the connection between the tension between those two roles and Morgan la Fey's descent within Arthurian legend from goddess to witch. .

Ze gaan in op vragen als: Hoe raken individuele 'bewustzijnen' en lichamen in hun doen en laten op elkaar afgestemd? Hoe ontstaan de kenmerkende patronen in het bewegen, praten, denken en voelen van mensen? En hoe zijn deze patronen gerelateerd aan de beschavingsgeschiedenis in West en Oost?

- Description
- When first published in 1972 this book was the first to address critical questions about women and mental health. Combining interviews with patients with an analysis of women's roles in history, society and myth, Chesler concludes that there is a terrible double standard when it comes to mental health. In this new edition, she addresses many of the most relevant issues to women and mental health today, including eating disorders, social acceptance of antidepressants, addictions, sexuality, postpartum depression and more.
