The Metaphor of Gender

Theology

“Katherine Abetz has written a groundbreakingly significant book for those seeking to understand women’s identity, especially concerning the imago Dei. The book is exquisite, whimsically weaving together the Wizard of Oz with feminist writers, theologians, and biblical narratives. Katherine digs deeply, encouraging feminist writers to beware of self-creation traps in the poppy field and to return to the Yellow Brick Road, where they might discover a narrative identity birthed from historical belonging, including with the Divine.”
