Terrific Jewish-feminist resource

This book is a must-read for Jewish feminists (or feminist Jews) of all stripes. Broner provides the text of the haggadah from the feminist seder that she created, with friends, several years ago; it can serve as a great set of guidelines for those interested in creating their own feminist seder, or simply in understanding a different perspective on the Passover tradition. I'm particularly impressed with some of the readings and prayers in Broner's liturgy, which are appropriate to add to a "traditional" seder, if you want to add some women's voices to the men's voices that are traditionally heard.I spent five years working on, and eventually coordinating, the Feminist Seder at Williams College; Broner's book was an inspiration to me. Good stuff.
