- Description
- To attain equality, woman have historically had to resist hierarchy, to quest liminality, and to exercise holy disobedience. Women in earlier Christianity, especially in the Romanesque period, exercised that disobedience; but in the paradigm shift to the Gothic, women began to internalize, negate, and deny their equal powers. For the four essays that pertain to Chaucer, search for Equally in God's Image under Alternative Title.
