- Title
Three Arab Women Authors in their Quest for a Share in the Conceptualization of the Divine.
- Authors
Brand, Hanita
- Abstract
Women's attempts to grasp the divine and form accordingly their own place in a societal and cultural system reach various cultural documents, among them literature. I analyse--along understandings suggested in some of Luce Irigaray's writings with the help of additional psychoanalytical and feminist theoretical constructs -- the place of the divine in women and the place of women in the divine, in three Arab women's stories that venture into the realm of myth and legend, employing both the imaginary and the symbolic.
