La sexualidad femenina: reconceptualización surrealista y postmoderna por Cristina Escofet e Isabel Allende. Lanham, MD: UP of America; 2010. xiv, 113 pp. (book) ISBN-10: 0761852220, ISBN-13: 978-0761852223.
This book presents an analysis of female sexuality in the literary texts of two Hispanic feminist writers: Cristina Escofet and Isabel Allende. Both writers create alternative realities and emphasize the use of subconscious knowledge to help us understand sexuality and to enable us to make changes in our unjust hierarchical world. In addition to deconstructing misogynist archetypes of Eve, Escofet and Allende explore the figure of Adam's sexually active ex-partner Lillith, who has typically been portrayed as the negative Other. For generations the she-devil myth which surrounds her has resurfaced in the media, where she assumes the roles of innumerable evil female characters. Alongside Eve and Lillith, black and indigenous characters express dissent by retelling their stories in words and performance. These stories weave new ways of understanding female sexuality by reclaiming female divinities or heroines.
