| Abstract | Born in Cicero, New York, in 1826, Matilda Joslyn Gage became one of the leaders of the American women's rights movement. Her book "Woman, Church, and State," first published in 1893, is a work of feminist history and theory that anticipates many of the feminist critiques which are now familiar: social class, imperialism, sexual violence, and the nature of private property, as well as the nature of patriarchal language, epistemology, and religion. Gage tells the story of development, an archaeological narrative of the manner in which human females came to be defined (and confined) as women, and concerns herself with women as spiritual beings. The church has been, Gage says, the "deluder of the weak and the succor of the strong," a reflection of male dominance. Gage proposed a revaluation of spiritual values that would allow women to decide for themselves what the truth is, based on their own reason and investigation. For Gage, social evolution resembles today's idea of punctuated equilibria far more than it does the orderly, hierarchical story told by Charles Darwin. Gage's book, "Woman, Church, and State" becomes the place in which, for the first time, an authentically post-patriarchal language emerges in American thought. (Contains 14 references.) (CR) |
