This review essay discusses Marina Warner's "Alone of All Her Sex: The Myth and the Cult of the Virgin Mary." The reviewers, Andree Collard, Geoffrey Ashe, and Marina Warner herself, engage in a dialogue about the book's central arguments concerning the evolving image and interpretations of the Virgin Mary throughout history. Collard praises Warner's exploration of the complex and often contradictory representations of Mary, highlighting her insightful analysis of the social and cultural forces that shaped these portrayals. Ashe offers a more critical perspective, questioning some of Warner's interpretations and emphasizing the importance of theological context. Warner responds to these critiques, clarifying her methodology and defending her focus on the mythical and symbolic dimensions of Mary's image. The essay provides a multifaceted perspective on the book and its contribution to the study of Marianism.
