Description

n the past, books on feminism in the 1960s and 1970s have excluded women in religion entirely. This void is filled with a new collection that details the stories of sixteen prominent women leaders in religious communities who actively fought to change society's views of women in religious realms. Letty Cottin Pogrebin, co-founder of Ms.; Elisabeth Schssler Fiorenza, feminist Biblical scholar; Carol P. Christ, leader of the Goddess movement; Riffat Hassan, Muslim feminist theolo-gian; and many more share their heroic stories and shed light on issues of faith, feminism, struggles, and triumphs. This com-- pelling compilation of spiritual journeys is essential for any-one inter-ested in the religious lives of women in the United States.
