Beschreibung:
Carolyn G. Heilbrun (1926-2003) was a professor of English at Columbia University. A force in literary and feminist theory, she also wrote mysteries under the pen name Amanda Cross.
In this quietly provocative book, Carolyn G. Heilbrun opens our eyes to the ways in which the concept of androgyny-the realization of man in woman and woman in man-has run, like a hidden river, from its source in pre-Hellenic myth through the literature of the Western world. The androgynous ideal shows itself to be a creative and civilizing force conducive to the survival of a truly human society.
