Description: Satanic Feminism : Lucifer As the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-Century Culture, Hardcover by Faxneld, Per, ISBN 0190664479, ISBN-13 9780190664473, Brand New, Free shipping in the US According to the Bible, Eve was the first to heed Satans advice to eat the forbidden fruit and thus responsible for all of humanitys subsequent miseries. The notion of woman as the Devils accomplice is prominent throughout Christian history and has been used to legitimize the subordination
of wives and daughters. In the nineteenth century, rebellious females performed counter-readings of this misogynist tradition. Lucifer was reconceptualized as a feminist liberator of womankind, and Eve became a heroine. In these reimaginings, Satan is an ally in the struggle against a tyrannical
patriarchy supported by God the Father and his male priests. Per Faxneld shows how this Satanic feminism was expressed in a wide variety of nineteenth-century literary texts, autobiographies, pamphlets, newspaper articles, paintings, sculptures, and even artifacts of consumer culture like jewelry.
He details how colorful figures like the suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton, gender-bending Theosophist H. P. Blavatsky, author Aino Kallas, actress Sarah Bernhardt, anti-clerical witch enthusiast Matilda Joslyn Gage, decadent marchioness Luisa Casati, and the Luciferian lesbian poetess Rene Vivien
embraced these reimaginings. By exploring the connections between esotericism, literature, art and the political realm, Satanic Feminism sheds new light on neglected aspects of the intellectual history of feminism, Satanism, and revisionary mythmaking.
