Description
Satanic Feminism: Lucifer as the Liberator of Woman in Nineteenth-century Culture by Per Faxneld In the history of feminism, a counter-narrative emerged in the nineteenth century, challenging the traditional view of women as the Devil's accomplice. This reimagining of the myth of Lucifer saw the fallen angel as a feminist liberator of womankind, with Eve becoming a heroine. Per Faxneld explores how this Satanic feminism was expressed in various literary texts, autobiographies, and artworks of the time. Through a wide range of sources, including suffragettes, Theosophists, authors, actresses, and artists, Faxneld reveals how these reimaginings of the myth of Lucifer shed new light on the intellectual history of feminism, Satanism, and revisionary mythmaking. This book provides a fresh perspective on the neglected aspects of the intellectual history of these subjects. By examining the connections between esotericism, literature, art, and the political realm, Satanic Feminism offers a new understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of feminist thought and cultural expression in the nineteenth century.
