In these four artfully crafted essays, Patrick Geary explores the way ancient and medieval authors wrote about women. Geary describes the often marginal role women played in origin legends from antiquity until the twelfth century. Not confining himself to one religious tradition or region, he probes the tensions between women in biblical, classical, and medieval myths (such as Eve, Mary, Amazons, princesses, and countesses), and actual women in ancient and medieval societies. Using these legends as a lens through which to study patriarchal societies, Geary chooses moments and texts that illustrate how ancient authors (all of whom were male) confronted the place of women in their society. Unlike other books on the subject, "Women at the Beginning" attempts to understand not only the place of women in these legends, but also the ideologies of the men who wrote about them. The book concludes that the authors of these stories were themselves struggling with ambivalence about women in their own worlds and that this struggle manifested itself in their writings.

前言中交代瞭這是格雷在普大參與的勞倫斯斯通講座 ,篇幅短小精悍,非專業人士也可一讀。注重文本對照解讀考證的中世紀史的研究在此融閤瞭性彆研究和譜係(民族起源)研究,令人大開眼界。 基督教的矛盾傳統以及世俗社會重新製造和轉移權力的復雜性(男性主導),使中世紀早期女性在實際傢族起源的奠基作用被削減乃至異化,男性主導的書寫層層將她們掩埋,格雷在這裏通過一個個文本考證對比將再造神話進行瞭解構,並讓讀者認識到這一再造過程。
評分這種不長篇大論地提供背景知識,但是沒有背景知識也能讀得懂讀來有趣的書纔是好的學術書籍嘛~從antiquity講到12世紀,examine各種origin myths當中的女性,推薦。
