The Feminine And The Sacred

In November 1996, Catherine ClA(c)ment and Julia Kristeva began a correspondence exploring the subject of the sacred. Their correspondence lead them to a controversial and fundamental question: is there anything sacred that can at the same time be considered strictly feminine?Although their discourse is not necessarily about theology, ClA(c)ment and Kristeva consider the role of women and femininity in the religions of the world, from Christianity and Judaism to Confucianism and African animism.
