Mary Kassian Feminist Mistake.Pdf “Mary Kassian’s thorough look into the development of feminist thought is a sound refutation of a movement that clearly rejects the authority of the Bible. A valuable tool for today’s Christian!” BEVERLY LAHAYE, Founder and Chairman, Concerned Women for America “This is an incisive, sympathetic, and well-balanced treatment of one of the most important theological and sociological phenomena of our age. The author under- stands the legitimate concern of feminists but, out of her deep commitment to the gospel and to the authority of the Bible, shows us where to draw the line between legitimate reinterpretation and illegitimate deformation of the biblical message.” HAROLD O. J. BROWN, Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “The concern with feminism’s influence within the church is generating heated interest, much of it neither thoughtful nor gracious. This book is an intelligent, bal- anced effort to understand feminist philosophy and theology, going beyond insight- ful analysis into a warmly passionate and reflectively penetrating invitation to grapple with crucial issues. An important book that strikes a much needed biblical posture on gender differences and how the implications of contemporary thinking on the subject impact the church.” LARRY CRABB, JR., Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Colorado Christian University “A well-researched, excellent resource for all seeking a better understanding of the history and philosophy of the feminist movement and how it affects and influences our thinking today. I especially appreciate that Mrs. Kassian reminds us, as Christians, to go back to our only unchanging reference point—the Bible—for answers.” GIGI GRAHAM TCHIVIDJIAN, conference speaker, author of Currents of the Heart “An important and original contribution to debates over feminist theology. One need not agree with every judgment Mary Kassian offers to see how important it is to place various strands of the movement within their cultural and ideological con- texts. But Mrs. Kassian is not some mere traditionalist; she candidly exposes her own struggles and profoundly Christian commitments as she seeks to bring her life into line with God’s gracious disclosure in Christ Jesus and in Scripture. I warmly recommend this book.” D. A. CARSON, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “Timely, fresh, succinct, and best of all, biblical. I commend to you The Feminist Mistake.” ANNE ORTLUND Author of Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman “Mary Kassian is right on target in her book. Having carefully studied the feminist movement for more than fifteen years, I can attest that she understands the major questions Christian feminism is addressing and how the answers it gives lead to less than biblical perspectives of self, society, and God. As she comments in the book, ‘feminism and Christianity are antithetical.’ I wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Kassian’s book.” WAYNE HOUSE, Professor of Biblical Studies and Apologetics, Faith Seminary, Tacoma, Washington “A penetrating analysis of the impact of feminist ideology on the life of the church. The author convincingly shows how this has resulted in a new ‘gospel.’” DONALD G.

Though it advanced at the speed of a jet plane, the seismic wave was less than fifteen inches in height. It could scarcely be distinguished from the normal rhythmic rise and fall of the water’s surface. They were totally unprepared for the dev- astation that awaited them when they returned to the port of Sanriku. The innocent-looking ripple was actually a deadly tsunami. It hit shore with crests of water more than a hundred feet high and a force more pow- erful than 25,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs. Twenty-eight thousand peo- ple were killed, and 170 miles of coastline were destroyed in that infamous 1896 disaster. Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning “harbor wave.” It’s the scien- tific term for a seismic sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. A tsunami may travel hundreds of miles across the ocean at speeds of up to 550 miles per hour. In deep waters it remains virtually imperceptible. But upon encountering the shallow water of coastlines, bays, or harbors, the rapidly moving energy forces the water into giant waves that assault the shore with tremendous force. A typical tsunami consists of a dozen or more such waves, with the third to eighth crests being the largest and most destructive. The philosophy of feminism is part of the seismic postmodern earthquake. Feminism proposes that women find happiness and mean- ing through the pursuit of personal authority, autonomy, and freedom. This philosophy’s shake-up of society occurred roughly during the thirty- year period from 1960 to 1990. But the cataclysmic consequences will continue to crash on culture’s shores like a tsunami throughout the open- ing decades of the new millennium. In the first version of this book, pub- lished in 1992 (The Feminist Gospel), I examined the cutting edge of feminist theory and theology. The book maintained that a philosophical quake in both society and church with regard to the role of women had, in fact, taken place. Readers then understood the inevitable repercus- 8 The Feminist Mistake sions of such a radical paradigm shift. Now, more than ten years later, the book is gaining an audience among those observing the destruction and seeking to understand its cause—men and women who have been blind- sided by the cultural onslaught and are asking “Where did these waves come from?” and “Why?” Up until the middle of the last century, Western culture as a whole generally embraced a Judeo-Christian perspective on gender, sexuality, and the purpose and structure of the family. Heterosexual marriage, mar- ital fidelity, and the bearing and nurturing of children in an intact family unit were highly valued concepts and the norm of societal practice. Most agreed that the primary responsibility of the male was to lead, protect, and provide for his family, while the primary responsibility of the female was to nurture and care for her children and manage her home. Differences between male and female were accepted and seldom questioned. Furthermore, for both man and woman, the sense of duty and responsi- bility to family was deemed more important than the pursuit of personal fulfillment. Though they may not have been able to identify the source of their values, individuals had a sense of what it meant to be a man or a woman and the appropriate outworking of gender roles and relationships. The speed and magnitude of force with which this understanding was deconstructed is astonishing. Consider the following facts: Since 1960 the divorce rate has increased more than 100 percent.1 The marriage rate has decreased. Since 1960 the marriage rate for fifteen- to forty-four-year-olds has dropped by 41 percent.2 In 1960 cohabitation was called “living in sin.” The behavior was considered shameful and culturally deviant. So few couples lived together before marriage that statistics were not even recorded.

  • Lesbian Body
    The Power of the Word: The (Unnameable) Lesbian Body Janne Cleveland It is our fiction that validates us. -- Monique Wittig, The Lesbian Body In the twenty-five years since The Lesbian Body was published in English translation, the question of how to present and represent lesbianism has continued to be a source of challenge, resistance, and more than a little anxiety. Central to this inquiry has been the question of language. What language is adequate to constitute the homosexual woman, the lesbian, without running the risk of devolving into an essentialist critique that does little to advance the project of creating a visible and viable presence? Is it possible to define lesbianism in any meaningful and satisfactory way? From what point, or points, is this even a useful exercise? While embarking on a recent course entitled “Theories of Lesbian Sexuality”, I was struck by the number of scholarly works that continue to refer to Wittig’s work. Regardless of whether the readings had their origin in the 1970s, or the late 1990s, it became clear that Wittig’s The Lesbian Body continues to be a site from which to engage the question of representation. More than a quarter of a century after its initial English publication, Wittig’s novel continues to stimulate debate, and provide an arena in which to explore the difficult terrain of the textual construction of female subjectivity upon which Wittig broke the ground for much feminist critical analysis that has since followed.[1] A close reading of this text reflects a strategic use of language that challenges the reader to consider ways in which to construct the lesbian subject from a body not bound to normative and limiting configurations of masculinist discourse.

  • Feminist Presses and Publishing Politics in Twentieth-Century Britain
    MIXED MEDIA: FEMINIST PRESSES AND PUBLISHING POLITICS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITAIN SIMONE ELIZABETH MURRAY DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1999 The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and no quotation from it or information derived from it may be published without the prior written consent of the author U,Ip 1 Still, Madam, the private printing press is an actual fact, and not beyond the reach of a moderate income. Typewriters and duplicators are actual facts and even cheaper. By using these cheap and so far unforbidden instruments you can at once rid yourself of the pressure of boards, policies and editors. They will speak your own mind, in your own words, at your own time, at your own length, at your own bidding. And that, we are agreed, is our definition of 'intellectual liberty'. - Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas (1938) 2 Image removed due to third party copyright ABSTRACT The high cultural profile of contemporary feminist publishing in Britain has previously met with a curiously evasive response from those spheres of academic discourse in which it might be expected to figure: women's studies, while asserting the innate politicality of all communication, has tended to overlook the subject of publishing in favour of less materialist cultural modes; while publishing studies has conventionally overlooked the significance of gender as a differential in analysing print media. Siting itself at this largely unexplored academic juncture, the thesis analyses the complex interaction of feminist politics and fiction publishing in twentieth-century Britain. Chapter 1 -" 'Books With Bite': Virago Press and the Politics of Feminist Conversion" - focuses on Britain's oldest extant women's publishing venture, Virago Press, and analyses the organisational structures and innovative marketing strategies which engineered the success of its reprint and original fiction lists.

  • Survival: Colonialism As a Discourse in Beatrice Culleton's Spirit of The
    Survival: Colonialism as a Discourse in Beatrice Culleton’s Spirit of the White Bison Debashree Dattaray Jadavpur University, India As a student reading aboriginal Canadian women writings, I have had often to face questions which seek to define aboriginal Canadian women’s literature. Define is to “state or describe exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of” [OED]. To do so would perhaps lead to dependence on the vocabulary of colonialism, which according to Maori writer Linda Tuhiwai Smith may be encompassed in three concepts, viz., the line, the centre and the outside. She explains how these three concepts have manipulated the very manner in which the colonial powers that be have “discovered,” made conquest of, exploited, distributed and appropriated indigenous cultures.1 Moreover, after we ask “What is aboriginal Canadian women’s literature?” or “When would one mark the earliest period of aboriginal literatures?” other questions await us: “What is aboriginal Canadian?” or “What is period?” or “What is literature?” Definitive answers to these questions would inevitably lead to a “validation” of aboriginal literatures on being “heard” as marginalized voices using established theory and irrelevant aesthetics. This would reiterate the reservations of aboriginal women writers about “too easy identification by the non-Native reader, ignorance of historical or cultural allusion, obliviousness to the presence or properties of Native genres, and the application of irrelevant aesthetic standards” (Hoy 9), which are all means of domesticating the unknown. This premise of misunderstanding and misreading could have been a deterrent to my readings in aboriginal literatures had I not read the opening remarks of Native arts activist Viola Thomson, who moderated both panels at the Telling It Conference (1988), and as quoted by Daphne Marlatt in the Introduction to the Telling It Conference Collective: I encourage each of you to continue empowering these women and the work that they’re doing, and you can do that in many different ways.

  • Red Intersectionality and Violence-Informed Witnessing Praxis with Indigenous Girls
    Red Intersectionality and Violence-informed Witnessing Praxis with Indigenous Girls Natalie Clark a ABSTRACT In this article I will centre the historic and ongoing resistance of Indigenous girls to violence through colonial policies and practices. I challenge conventional intersectionality scholarship by foregrounding anti-colonialism and Indigenous sovereignty/nationhood. Using examples from my own work, I illustrate the man- ifestation of colonial power and persistent resistance in the lives of Indigenous girls. Through these stories, I will discuss the everyday practices of witnessing and resisting the discourses of risk. Red intersectionality will be offered as one way forward in relation to my ongoing work on violence. KEYWORDS colonialism, girls’ groups, resistance, trauma, wellness b My body has melted. Ice cracking from oppression, revealing bone and sinew. My language is screaming inside my flesh, buried under your schools, Your words, Your wounds, Left Me Here. Emerging. I drape myself in orange. I tattoo freedom on my body. I pierce remembering on my face. You will never enter me again. I have marked my territory this time. Girlhood Studies 9, no. 2 (Summer 2016): 46-64 © Berghahn Books doi: 10.3167/ghs.2016.090205 ISSN: 1938-8209 (print) 1938-8322 (online) RED INTERSECTIONALITY AND VIOLENCE-INFORMED WITNESSING PRAXIS b You are not welcome. Oppression melted, Reveals stone, sinew, bone. Souls syrup on my tongue I know my map my body Do you? I wrote this poem in my journal shortly after I left the small town in which I grew up and moved to Vancouver. This poem speaks to the legacy of col- onization, the absence of consent, and the violations of Indigenous girls’ lands and bodies, but also names and evokes the power of resistance and survivance in the face of abuse, violence, and the absence of consent.
