Susan Griffin's passionate and sophisticated writing ponders how society benefits physically, spiritually, and emotionally from understanding illness.
Themes of social injustice, economic inequality, and women's body imagery are intermingled with Griffin's personal recovery from chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS) and the story of Marie de Plessis, popularized as Camille, an 18th-century courtesan whose sad young life was taken by tuberculosis.

Griffin is not the first writer, of course, to tackle the notion of disease as social epiphany--among the most notable are Norman Cousins (Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient) and Susan Sontag (Illness as Metaphor).
As Griffin struggled to understand the hidden origins and painful lessons of the disease she suffered from for an anguished decade, chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), she recognized the "pattern of neglect" that shaped her childhood.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Book of the Courtesans: a Catalogue of Their Virtues   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Poet and writer Susan Griffin is famously provocative, though her provocation takes very different forms, ranging from her classic feminist treatise, Women and Nature, which linked patriarchy with the oppression of women and nature, to her well-received A Chorus of Stones, which weighed in on the nature of war.
Griffin sings the praises of these women and enunciates their virtues, which, ironically, are the sort popularly thought to be made anachronistic by feminism.
Griffin imagines herself into her subjects lives with sensitivity and sensuality--the rags to riches stories that characterized them and their creative responses to often dire circumstances.

 Metroactive Books | Susan Griffin
For Griffin, women and nature have evolved into women and artifice, or perhaps better, the courtesan who has risen above her class and the limitations of a male world has herself become a force of nature.
Griffin evokes the streets of Rome, the royal bedchambers of France, the drawing rooms of England, Venice in its golden epoch and the Belle Epoque in Paris, using imagery drawn from diaries, paintings, landscapes and cities.
Griffin's final chapter is an epilogue, a coda, that fills out the biographies of the major courtesans in a pared-down prose that I wish she had used more throughout her book.

In this famously provocative cornerstone of feminist literature, Susan Griffin brilliantly ponders the place and role of women in a predominantly patriarchal society.
Griffin has collected here the most apparently disparate materials [from lumbering manuals to poetry to gynecology texts] into an extraordinary collage which, for all the research and hard intellectual work underlying it, becomes an intense physical experience." -- Adrienne Rich

 On Susan Griffin
The author was present and invested throughout the book, and her creation allowed for the voices of many women a common, or rather collective, voice to guide the reader through centuries of oppressive belief systems, through our current patriarchy, and beyond.
One of the points Griffin makes in the book is the same thing Ortner was attempting to prove in her essay, that women and nature are linked, as man is linked to culture.
It's not difficult to see, and probably annoying to some, that Griffin is talking not only about the way man has tried to "break the wilderness" or conquer that which is wild, as regards to soil, but also to women.
