Answer

Mary Daly was an American radical feminist philosopher and theologian. She is best known for her writings on the history of Western civilization, which she argued was a patriarchal and misogynistic system that had oppressed women for millennia. In her book Gyn/Ecology (1978), Daly coined the term "Sin Big" to describe the systemic oppression of women that she saw as inherent in the patriarchal system.
