Renowned Goddess of Desire: Women, Sex, and Speech in Tantra
Biernacki, Loriliai (Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, University of Colorado at Boulder)
The role of women and Tantra is controversial - traditionally the feminine is a metaphor and actual women are absent, or it involves the transgressive use of women's bodies to serve male interests. Biernacki presents a view in which women are revered, using texts from the 15th to 18th centuries, to reveal a positive and empowering view of women.
