2020 Saga Award Goes to Dr. Jane Caputi

Dr. Jane Caputi

The Board of Directors of the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology has selected Dr. Jane Caputi for the 2020 Saga Special Recognition Award for Contributions to Women’s History and Culture. Her vision and scholarship reach far beyond the confines of academic institutions. This award recognizes her service both to individual women and to the future that is being created by all women.

Dr. Caputi has advanced bold ideas as a feminist theorist, documentarian, and unflinching critic of popular culture. Her books, The Age of Sex Crime (1987), Gossips, Gorgons and Crones (1993), and Goddesses and Monsters: Women, Myth, Power and Popular Culture (2004), have explored in depth difficult issues concerning violence against women and entrenched sexism in society.

Dr. Caputi’s work as a filmmaker has also advanced important concepts regarding violence against women, in the 2006 film, “The Pornography of Everyday Life,” and the worldwide movement of ecofeminism, in “Feed the Green: Feminist Voices of the Earth (2015).” Her forthcoming book, Call Your “Mutha”: A Deliberately Dirty-Minded Manifesto for the Earth Mother in the Anthropocene, will be released in August 2020.

Past winners of the Saga Award include Dr. Heide Goettner-Abendroth, Genevieve Vaughan, Donna Read, Z Budapest, Dr. Peggy Sanday, and Dr. Arisika Razak.
