ABSTRACT
It is important to say something of what feminists and post-feminists have brought to the study of religion, as well as to the study of psychotherapy. Their works have shown different means of exploring the unknowable unknown. This is exemplified in Ward's observations of Cixious: Cixious is less a theorist and more a practitioner, in her writing, of a religious way of viewing the world. Post feminists are willing to transform their views about religion but at the same time rely on a template which could equally be applied to men and indeed religion. Cixious distances herself from the feminist model by claiming that she does not want to be part of the existing structures to which feminists aspire. Cixious is therefore allied with post feminism, although it is difficult to be such without acknowledging the role of feminism.
