In her paper Expelled Again from Eden: Facing Difference through Connection, delivered in Plymouth in 1998, Mary Grey said the story of the Garden of Eden was a dilemma for Feminist Theologians. This because it both bears responsibility for the Fall of relationship between God and Man and the misogyny that has ensued through the ages but also underpinning the desire to return to a supposed golden age of matriarchy with the re-emergence of the Goddess and a related ecological and egalitarian epoch of harmony. Grey makes a connection between the Lost Garden myth and the second wave feminist ideal of global sisterhood of the 1960s. Reflecting on her paper and updating it later, Grey concluded she still felt the challenge of years ago: the sense of rightness of connection and mutuality, yet the crucial need to embrace difference.

重温 1998 年 BISFT 暑期学校，圣马克和圣约翰普利茅斯学院，“面临差异的女性”

玛丽·格雷在 1998 年在普利茅斯发表的论文再次被驱逐出伊甸园：通过联系面对差异，她说伊甸园的故事对女权主义神学家来说是一个困境。这是因为它既要为上帝与人之间的关系的堕落和千古以来的厌女症承担责任，也支撑着随着女神和相关生态系统的重新出现而回到所谓的母权制黄金时代的愿望。和平等的和谐时代。格雷将失落的花园神话与 1960 年代全球姐妹情谊的第二波女权主义理想联系起来。回顾她的论文并稍后更新，格雷总结说她仍然感受到多年前的挑战：联系和相互的正确感，但至关重要的是接受差异。
