The Eros of Everyday Life: Essays on Ecology, Gender and Society
Griffin examines the nature of women and women's roles in Western culture, and shows how the ways that we subordinate the role of women in society are deliberately similar to the ways that we attempt to exclude and subordinate nature. Featuring the brilliant original title essay that is nothing less than an intellectual and emotional exploration of the nature of Western society itself, as well as Susan Griffin's best previously published essays over the past decade, The Eros of Everyday Life combines the beautiful lyricism and sensibility of a poet with the intellectual rigor of one of the finest and most original minds writing today.

Praise for this book
"Nobody writes more lyrically about ecology or more wisely about gender than Susan Griffin. And nobody knows better how the two must be seen as one. This nourishing book is an example of her work at its best."-- Theodore Roszak, author of The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein "Griffin's essays yearn in a wonderful direction."--Hungry Mind Review
