Annotation |
Rybakova rejects Francine du Plessix Gray's suggestion Simone Weil deliberately adopted 'masculine' clothing in an effort to disguise or deny her gender. Rybakova draws on Weil's interest in the Cathars and her interest in the Christian mystical tradition, including her own experience described in the Prologue to argue Weil's view of love calls for a transcendence and not rejection of gender. |
