![]() ![]() Reciprocally, feminist theory is brought to bear upon Integral theory. Arriving at the juncture of contemporary feminist discourse I introduce the unique tools and sophisticated philosophy of Wilber’s Integral theory in order to examine the possibilities that an Integral feminism may offer for the (re)construction of the female subject. I trace feminism’s development of, and increasingly complex engagement with, the definition of Woman as subject. To begin this journey, I turn to feminist theory as a principle space for the examination of the question of Woman. For woman, the question ‘Who am I’ has been obscured by the more pressing question, ‘Who is woman?’ This thesis sets out to find and follow woman as hero and in so doing, to explore woman’s evolving socio-cultural and psychological relationship with what it is to be human. This thesis takes the hero’s journey as motif and metaphor for the exploration of subjectivity, and explores the manner in which woman’s journey as hero has been marginalised. ‘Who am I?’ is the central question of the hero’s journey. ![]()
