Designed for College Students Taking Courses that Explore the Feminine Dimension
In Maid in God's Image, Verena Wright explores the feminine dimension in a range of texts, including film, fiction, and Gospel. Based on explorations of the themes in Stephen King's Carrie, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and William Golding's Lord of the Flies, she examines the fears that lie beneath the repression of the feminine, and seeks to uncover a more positive appraisal of the "unruly woman" wherever she may be found. In looking at the startling ways in which certain voices have been silenced throughout history, she opens up new ways of seeing that acknowledge and value the feminine dimension as both social and spiritual resource and an essential component of all human being.
