description: This international and highly original collection of essays is a unique study of a topic never really investigated before from a feminist perspective. Drawing from a broad range of disciplines, including politics, philosophy, physics and literature, Frieda Forman and her contributors have put together an excellent book which elegantly exposes the patriarchal nature of linear constructions of time throughout history, and shows how women rebel against these by creating their own rhythms; rhythms reflecting a temporal experience which includes the realities of childbirth, social time, memory and time of the imagination
