Book Synopsis The Woman Babylon and the Marks of Empire by : Shanell T. Smith
Book excerpt: Criticizes the use of gendered metaphors - Babylon as a tortured woman - which the author asserts reflect an inescapably androcentric, even misogynistic, perspective. The author seeks to dismantle the either/or dichotomy within the Great Whore debate by bringing the categories of race/ethnicity and class to bear on John's metaphors.
