Psychedelic Feminism : Dissolving the Patriarchy

Omtale

This book examines the notion that psychedelics can be used by women for empowerment through in-depth interviews and participant observation. The author argues that psychedelic experiences privilege nature, intuition, emotion, and imagination and thereby inherently challenges patriarchal values. In the course of exploring individual experiences by a number of women and men, the author concludes that psychedelic experiences are feminist, but not gender-based: men come to some of the same conclusion about the patriarchal world as women do.
