This article charts Asphodel's development in political and theological terms, from her dialectic with her political roots, through the maelstrom of 1970s socialism and feminism. Asphodel's clearsightedness recognized and challenged sexism in left-wing politics as well as in religion. She also challenged the scientific ideal of objectivity by recovering subjectivity as a source of knowledge. For the present day, Asphodel provides the same clearsightedness, m recognizing the reliance of various postmodernisms on patriarchal paradigms. The challenge comes in the relation between politics and theology and a commitment to revolutionary action. It is this integrity that makes Asphodel's midrash a useful tool for scholarly work and empowerment
