Este libro presenta un análisis de la sexualidad femenina en los textos literarios de dos escritoras feministas hispanas: Cristina Escofet e Isabel Allende. Ambas crean realidades alternativas y enfatizan el uso del conocimiento subconsciente para ayudarnos a entender la sexualidad femenina, al tiempo que nos posibilitan hacer cambios en la injusticia de nuestro mundo jerárquico. Además de la deconstrucción de arquetipos misóginos sobre Eva, Escofet y Allende exploran la figura de la sexualmente activa Lillith, antigua pareja de Adán, la cual ha sido caracterizada como "ente" u "Otro" negativo. Durante generaciones, el mito de mujer diabólica que la acompaña ha sido revivido por los medios de comunicación, en donde asume roles femeninos de innumerables personajes malévolos. Junto a Eva y Lillith, los personajes de mujeres negras e indígenas también expresan su disidencia al relatar nuevamente sus historias a través de sus palabras y desempeños. Estas historias entretejen nuevas maneras de interpretar la sexualidad femenina mediante el reclamo de divinidades y heroínas. This book presents an analysis of female sexuality in the literary texts of two Hispanic feminist writers: Cristina Escofet and Isabel Allende. Both writers create alternative realities and emphasize the use of subconscious knowledge to help us understand sexuality and to enable us to make changes in our unjust hierarchical world. In addition to deconstructing misogynist archetypes of Eve, Escofet and Allende explore the figure of Adam's sexually active ex-partner Lillith, who has typically been portrayed as the negative Other. For generations the she-devil myth which surrounds her has resurfaced in the media, where she assumes the roles of innumerable evil female characters. Alongside Eve and Lillith, black and indigenous characters express dissent by retelling their stories in words and performance. These stories weave new ways of understanding female sexuality by reclaiming female divinities or heroines.
