Transforming the Faiths of Our Fathers Women Who Changed American Religion

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.Braude, Ann is the author of 'Transforming the Faiths of Our Fathers Women Who Changed American Religion', published 2004 under ISBN 9781403964601 and ISBN 1403964602.
