Womanspirit Rising: A Feminist Reader in Religion
AuthorCarol P. Christ
ISBN0060613777
This text had been low on my Feminist Theology To-Reads simply because it was so often quoted since that I thought it might be redundant to read. But I kept feeling nudged to sit down with it on its own terms instead of others' summaries. My reading of it is strangely bittersweet.

As one of the foundational...

When the Drummers Were Women: A Spiritual History of Rhythm

Redmond's thesis is quite fascinating, and it is wonderful to see this area of oft-overlooked women's spirituality and religion come to light.

The Crone: Woman of Age, Wisdom, and Power
AuthorBarbara G. Walker
ISBN0062509349
I applaud Walker for the extensive reading she's done in anthropology, archetype psychology and history, but I find her arguments too extreme. Even the most basic reciting of facts are put into a narrative that is extremely negative towards all men through all history. While I do agree that societies...
