The female body has been an object of oppression and control throughout history. Gender and Apocalyptic Desire exposes the often-hidden links between the struggles of women and the conflict of good versus evil. The essays examine the collisions between feminist and apocalyptic thought, the ways in which apocalyptic belief functions as bodily discipline and cultural practice, and how some currents of apocalyptic desire can enable women's equality. A wide range of issues are examined, from anti-abortion terrorism to the stigmata of Christ and visions of Mary.
"Scholarly treatments of millennial matters and women make this a unique volume that will appeal to the specialist but includes some accessible studies like Carol Mason's on anti-abortion terrorism and Tina Pippin's The Joy of (Apocalyptic) Sex.'"
