Cover for Visionary Women: Ecstatic Prophecy in Seventeenth-Century England: Ecstatic Prophecy in Seventeenth-Century England

While the Earl of Rochester saw his transformation into sperm as a pure imaginative act, women actually succumbed to the coursing of their own bodily fluids, for menstruating women were believed to be specially prone to hysteria or extremes of emotion, an ailment known to contemporaries as “the mother”.

Estoy comenzando a pensar que dada la relvancia que esta adquiriendo este tema en la literatura científica, quiza sea necesario incluirlo como vector transversal en la trilogía.

Después de tu “the mother” estoy esperando tu próxima alucinación… a ver cuándo te imaginas que te transformas en esperma como yo!
