The Politics of Women's Spirituality: Essays by Founding Mothers of the Movement

By: Spretnak, Charlene

Book Overview

This feminist classic (first published in 1982) presents a chorus of voices exploring their authentic spirituality. The essays are active rather than reactive, revolutionary rather than reformist, and express a broad political awareness. Rather than codifying a religion exclusively for women, the authors address a range of contemporary issues that are informed by spirituality, our attitude toward life on Earth. Part One: Discovering a History of Power - What the Goddess Means to Women - Mythic Heras as Models of Strength and Wisdom Part Two: Manifesting Personal Power - Consciousness/Energy/Action - Self-Images of Strength and Wholeness Part Three: Transforming the Political - The Unity of Politics and Spirituality - Applications of Spirituality as a Political Force
