Dante and the Divine Feminine

Categories like feminine and masculine can constrain as much as
illuminate. But there is no denying that women and female
entities play a major, often surprising part in Dante's journey
through the Divine Comedy. Saints including Beatrice, Lucia and
Mary, historic figures such as Piccarda, Francesca and Cunizza,
and mythological entities like the sirens all figure.

In this talk, I use Erich Neumann's exploration of feminine
archetypes, The Great Mother, to deepen a sense of how the one
God, freely manifesting in all beings and forms, is experienced
by Dante in these women and creatures.
