Description: According to the Bible Eve was the first to heed Satan's advice to eat the forbidden fruit and thus responsible for all of humanity's subsequent miseries. The notion of woman as the Devil's accomplice is prominent throughout Christian history and has been used to legitimize the subordination of wives and daughters. In the nineteenth century rebellious females performed counter - readings of this misogynist tradition. Lucifer was reconceptualized as a feminist liberator of womankind and Eve became a heroine. In these reimaginings Satan is an ally in the struggle against a tyrannical patriarchy supported by God the Father and his male priests. Per Faxneld shows how this Satanic feminism was expressed in a wide variety of nineteenth - century literary texts autobiographies pamphlets newspaper articles paintings sculptures and even artifacts of consumer culture like jewelry. He details how colorful figures like the suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton gender - bending Theosophist H. P. Blavatsky author Aino Kallas actress Sarah Bernhardt anti - clerical witch enthusiast Matilda Joslyn Gage decadent marchioness Luisa Casati and the Luciferian lesbian poetess Ren e Vivien embraced these reimaginings. By exploring the connections between esotericism literature art and the political realm Satanic Feminism sheds new light on neglected aspects of the intellectual history of feminism Satanism and revisionary mythmaking.
