Publisher's Synopsis
The female gaze hasn't been dominant; as a concept in its infancy, it's harder to define, and it looks different than the male gaze. The female gaze looks at the world through a female's eyes. Given the understanding of the male gaze, the parallel assumption would be that the heterosexual female gaze focuses on the way men are seen, objectifies the male body, and uses male characters only to perpetuate the female characters' roles.
This book features fantasy Art and poetry, with a female gaze. Why did Lilith really leave Adam? Was her choice to find magic and feminine energy worth all the condemnation? What is it like to be a woman who embodies feminism in the purest, most original sense? What is it like to be a woman immortalized for your sex? How can we love ourselves as women, without ridiculing the men in our lives? Can a woman choose to be seductive in the female gaze
without being politically galvanized? Do we own our bodies? Do we own our magic?
