Diversity of religious feminisms

I highly recommend this book of personal stories by women who shaped religious feminism. It is an excellent resource for understanding the diversity of religious feminisms--Christian (Protestant, Catholic, Evangelical), Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, and Goddess spirituality.

Thanks go to Ann Braude for her stellar work in breaking down the artificial divide between feminism and religious belief! This book shows that feminists have taken much of their inspiration from religious traditions and from the power of belief in their own lives. This book makes fascinating reading and will help to correct the bias against faith in the historical accounts of feminism.
