Sommario/riassunto: This a collection of essays about women, by women, which examine the production of femininity within a patriarchal society. The essays show that characteristics generally considered to be 'feminine' are in fact cultural constructions within a patriarchal order. The patriarchal culture is taken by us to be a system of meanings, as well as power relations, which pervades our view of women at both a conscious and an unconscious level.The symbolism of the rituals, myths, art works and polemics examined in the essays is related to the ways women are psychically constructed and constrained
