This philosophical autobiography of the world's foremost radical feminist philosopher offers an imaginative chronicle of Mary Daly's voyage. Daly sees her work as that of a pirate, righteously plundering treasures of knowledge that have been stolen and hidden from women. In this inventive blend of autobiography and visionary philosophy, she reveals her struggles to smuggle back these treasures and to distinguish them from their mindbinding trappings. Outercourse brilliantly recounts Daly's debunking of patriarchal thought and blazes new paths to freedom by enabling women to discover the hidden connections that make sense of their lives.

Mary Daly's book consists of three sections. In the first, she describes the impact of old and new myths on women's selves. In the second, she examines destructive practices against women from various times and cultures: widow burning in India, foot binding in China, genital mutilation in Africa, witch hunts in Europe, modern American gynecology, and Nazi medicine. In the third section, Mary Daly identifies the counterforces that women can develop: sparking in the sense of igniting - the fire of women's friendship; spinning in the mythical sense of the word - weaving new times/places.

This title is a journey into the interior of language. The author reveals the patriarchal construction of language and religious imagery, and offers alternatives.

'Certainly one of the most promising theological statements of our time.' --The Christian Century'Not for the timid, this brilliant book calls for nothing short of the overthrow of patriarchy itself.' --The Village Voice
