Female Fault and Fulfilment in Gnosticism; Studies in Religion

Chapel Hill NC / London: University of North Carolina Press, 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo. xiv + 180pp. Grey cloth with black lettering to spine, endnotes and index. The first edition of this volume. From the publisher: "Buckley challenges scholarly, stereotypical views of females in Gnosticism, which tend either toward idealization or outright devaluation. Examining six Gnostic texts or traditions that illuminate female figures, she analyzes a variety of females within their contexts. She makes no attempt to classify Gnostic females according to simplifying formulae; rather she treats them individually, allowing them to make sense within their own contexts."
