Jane Caputi ·
Introduced
by
Paula Gunn Allen
"At last-an alternative to cynicism! Jane Caputi has created a Rosetta
stone that decodes popular culture's hidden agendas of biocide and
misogyny, uncovering the missing pieces of the twenty-first-century
puzzle. Her insights reveal the magic, power, and joy available to those
who dare to imagine a world of mutual respect and natural harmony."
-Kay Leigh Hagan, author of
Fugitive Information: Essays from a Feminist Hothead
"Jane Caputi's work burns with earned vision.... always intelligent and
brave, she reports unflinchingly what she sees.... this book is like its
subject: deep, radiant, and necessary."
-Barbara Mor, author of The Great Cosmic Mother
"Jane Caputi has unearthed and diagnosed the male-centered popu-
larisms of rapine, plunder, genocide, mayhem, and denial, and done so
with a panache not ordinarily associated with such ordeals. In fact, it is
her lightness of touch and scintillating range that readies the reader for a
whole new appreciation of the strange and fertile chaos lurking in our
future."
"I appreciate the challenge to look at the nuclear issue in a working
way-by changing our attitudes, our language, our thought proces-
ses....This is a good way to look at generating transformation in our
society-to create a new path, a new way."
-Bobbie Hall, artist and daughter of one of the men
who helped create the first atomic bomb
"Jane Caputi captured my mind with her pristine, avid attention to cor-
rect research and translations. The lyric poetry and the easy ebb and
flow of her writing captured my heart and touched the 'knowings' in
me.... Even the difficult, dark truths in this book are presented to the
reader with beauty and laser humor.... Everyone should read
Gossips,
Gorgons
&
Crones."
-Dr. Michael Tobias, author of
Deep Ecology, Voice
of
the Planet, and Life Force
-Oh Shinnah, singer, teacher, and ceremonialist
