| Summary: | This article addresses research that deals with approaches to psychological and social trauma and ways to manage its disruptive power. In the first instance I apply this to the life of my great-grandmother in order to help understand why her life became unbearably difficult, the treatment she received as a female 'hysteric' in the 1940s and most importantly the impact that her life has continued to have through four generations of family life. In the second instance, I apply trauma theory to the history of forgetting women and its implications for feminist action and recovery with specific reference to Feminist Theology., I suggest that there are powerful connections between the individual and collective forgetting of women's lives, and that this forgetting is premised on forms of symbolic violence. I turn to the work of psychiatrists Judith Herman, and Russell Meares and feminist theologian Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, in order to provide an account of forgetting, remembering and finally recovery. |
