With its focus on narratives, its attention to contextual and material realities, and its collection of women-identified liturgies in global context, Dissident Daughtersclaims prominence within the growing literature on women's ways of worship. This book not only introduces liturgical texts, but focuses on the communities that create and celebrate these liturgies. Dissident Daughtersgives voice to the women activists in these communities who show how their communities came into being; how social, cultural, and political realities shaped them and their liturgies; and how they envision their lives in and as communities of faith. In drawing the different narratives together, Dissident Daughtersdisplays the expanse of the worldwide expression of women's rites, and how each is shaped by distinctly different contexts of struggle and hope.Berger, Teresa is the author of 'Dissident Daughters Feminist Liturgies in Global Context', published 2001 under ISBN 9780664223793 and ISBN 0664223796.
