Women and Dionysus: Appearances and Exile in History, Culture, and Myth

Women and Dionysus links repression of the Dionysian spirit in Western culture with the rise of the patriarchy over the course of two millennia. It effectively draws the connection between Dionysus and women throughout history, with examples from cultures both past and present, and the author’s own experiences.
