Her Voices: Hermeneutics of the Feminine

By Matthew J. Kanjirathinkal

Her Voices is a compilation of intriguing studies that explore some of the key issues and understandings that have become focal points of feminist discourse in recent times. This work examines subordination, marginalization and even the outright suppression of "Her" voices by the linquistic, philosophical and other symbolic structures of a patriarchal and phallocratic society.
