ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the new era in thinking towards which are heading is a quintessential challenge to the world-view that privileges a sense of separation, identifying it as non-problematic. It is a view that hinges on perceiving connectedness where we have never seen it before—connectedness of all kinds. Women's creativity does remain—in our still patriarchal and phallocentric world—marginalized. Being marginalized has a double edge. It leads to feeling disempowered. It leads to feeling homeless. The margins are not where feelings of certainty or security tend to flourish. Our emphasis on the importance of relationality for women has begun to re-cast our emphasis on boundaries over the past two decades. The key question for women right now is not how to eliminate living at that edge, even with all the anxiety and uncertainty it inevitably breeds. Women—precisely because of their awareness of how isolation and separation can inhibit—may be especially primed for access to the version of creativity will be needing.
