Gossips, Gorgons & Crones is the first comprehensive analysis of nuclear-age culture and the accompanying return of female Powers. Based in feminist, pre-patriarchal, and Native American philosophies, this book provides a biting critique of patriarchal practices, myths, and values, including family values.
Jane Caputi is a professor of American studies at the University of New Mexico. She is author of The Age of Sex Crime and worked with Mary Daly on Webster's First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language.
The advent of atomic and nuclear weaponry has greatly influenced American society since 1946. In this strong, insightful book, Caputi (American studies, Univ. of New Mexico) investigates and critiques the influence of nuclear sensibility on American society. Her comprehensive and sharply defining analysis covers the nuclear family, incest, serial killers, advertising, pornography, politics, and language. Caputi asks us to turn away from patriarchal customs and toward a spiritual understanding that is analogous to the Furies, Medusa, and the ancient mothers of Native American spirituality. Her critique is learned, scholarly, and far-reaching. Recommended for collections in women's studies, ecology, sociology, and American studies.-- Gail Wood, SUNY Coll. of Technology Lib., Alfred

reviewed Gossips, Gorgons and Crones: The Fates of the Earth on August 02, 2017 Gossips, Gorgons and Crones: The Fates of the Earth
Hella wise and prescient look at the oft-neglected archetypes of dark goddess. With a knowing cackle, this book really rips through the patriarchal edifice of its day ('93) and revels joyously in its own psycho-ecological anomie. An enriching read that provokes the inner cosmic crone into action, and anticipates the gender revolution which would shape the decades to come.
