How do feminists need that ur-text of patriarchy, the Bible? Unwritten volume: Re-thinking teh Bible attempts to re-think certain customary assumptions about feminism and about the Bible, in the light of poetic \"readings\" of biblical texts by 19th and 20th century women writers. The author proposes that women writers relate to the Bible in complex ways, which both critique biblical misogyny and stem directly from elements of transgressive writing within scripture iteself. Ultimately Ostriker suggests that feminist reinterpretations of scripture are the inevitable consequence of spiritual values which ask us to turn from institutions to the meaning of the original revelation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlicia Ostriker\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven volumes of poetry, as well as \u003ci\u003eVision and Verse in William Blake\u003c\/i\u003e and an annotated edition of Blake's \u003ci\u003eComplete Poems\u003c\/i\u003e.
