This article concerns the difficult question of the mystical human subject as seen through the lens of gender. After some critical comments on a differentialist perspective and its hope to identify the specificity of a feminine mystical identity, the author shows the limits of a gendered study of mysticism. In conversation with Grace Jantzen, who interprets mysticism as a social construct linked to gender and power relations, this article envisions the mystic as the product of a radical inner experience in relation to God.
