Interview

Mary Daly

Mary Daly is a world-renowned Radical Feminist philosopher, theologian and author.

Professor Daly, what is Radical Feminism?

Well, I actually define that in my Wickedary, which is a ‘dictionary for wicked women’. There are several definitions but I’ll give you the core of it. First of all the word ‘radical’ means ‘going to the roots’. It is derived from the Latin radix, meaning root. Radical Feminism goes to the root of oppression and the way out.
