We need more Asian American writers, especially Asian American women writers.  i am happy to announce that Rev. Mihee Kim-Kort has just published her second book, Streams Run Uphill.  I had the privilege of writing the Foreword to her first book, Making Paper Cranes.  Congratulations Rev. Kim-Kort on your second book.

Coined by our mujerista theologians it literally means, “life is struggle,” or even more simply “to live is to struggle.” Conversely, the flip is true, too

Foreword

By Grace Ji-Sun Kim

“PENISENVY”!

I write this on the blackboard on the day I cover Feminist Theology in my course, Theology from the Underside. I ask the students to read it. Most students read it as “penis envy.”

The way my students read this phrase seems to reinforce how Sigmund Freud has deeply influenced our societal perceptions of men and women. According to Freud, “penis envy” refers to the inner desire that women presumably wish they were men. For some time women adapted Freud’s teachings and actually believed that a penis was they all desired inwardly.

I am very excited about a new upcoming book, Making Paper Cranes by Rev. Mihee Kim-Kort.  I wrote a Foreword and an endorsement for this book which will be released next month.

“With this historical backdrop, Making Paper Cranes takes us on a theological journey that explores, reflects and contributes to Asian American Feminist Theology discourse through engaging literary, historical, and sociological sources. Most importantly, Kim-Kort writes from her heart as she finds herself in the statistics and dates of these literary, historical, and social narratives.
