Average rating3.6
Why God Is a Woman is a collection of poems written about a magical island where women rule and men are the second sex. It is also the story of a boy who, exiled from the island because he could not abide by its sexist laws, looks back with both nostalgia and bitterness and wonders: Why does God have to be a woman? Celebrated prose poet Nin Andrews creates a world both fantastic and familiar where all the myths, logic, and institutions support the dominance of women. Nin Andrews's books include The Book of Orgasms and Sleeping with Houdini.

This book was both so interesting and confusing. It has an amazing setting, and some of the parts are so good in showing the everyday life a woman needs to adapt to..only in reverse. The central part was bitter and striking but unfortunately towards the end the collection seemed to loose its focus and left me quite confused. Still a read I recommend to those willing to think and challenge their pov.
