8888THE REST OF THE DEER In this groundbreaking study, Blanchard explores the process and power
of intuition from the feminist perspective. She explores her own experience
of intuition and that of her woman students.; the use of intuition language
in children’s play and in women writers; using intuition to build
a house, teach a course, build community and address political issues.
She concludes with a philosophical discussion on intuition, “woman’s
intuition” and the relation between intuition and other forms of
knowing, including mysticism and psychic knowledge. Only someone as practiced in drawing on her own intuition as Margaret
Blanchard is could have written a study that brings together so many modes
of thought, voices, experiences and traditions. She teaches by what she
does and how she does it, as well as by what she says. This is a rare
and special kind of work. |
[Blanchard’s] discussion of
the intuition process is intriguing [and] her work on Woolf, Lessing, Kingston,
Walker, LeGuin and Grabin is wonderful, particularly in her demonstration
of ways in which each uses symbolic strictures. —Roni Natov, editor, THE LION AND THE UNICORN ...the results of years of reading, thinking, living and teaching...the study is original in conception and will be an important PIONEERING WORK. —Elaine Hedges, author, IN HER OWN IMAGE: WOMEN WORKING IN THE ARTS ...both visionary and practical. Her long experience and variety of activist ventures gives her work an intuition rare and mature force. —Jacqueline Wilkotz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of English and Women’s Studies Towson State University The essays are rich and fascinating. —Judith Arcana, author, OUR MOTHER’S DAUGHTERS |
