This scholarly feminist anthology offers essays on several topics where feminist thinking casts new light on old thinking and writing...As with any anthology, readers are drawn to some topics more than others, but all will be rewarded with well-researched material to aid them in the never-ending task of seeking to be informed feminists.
As someone who struggled to get feminist theology taken seriously in Cambridge in the 1980s, I was delighted to find that this volume contains lectures delivered in a series called "women's voices in theology" which began almost ten years ago, and is clearly still going strong.
This series continues to offer a platform for the wide range of disciplines and interests which cluster under the broad umbrella of feminist theology. As such this volume offers a window into the state of the subject today. It is clear that a lot has happened in the last decade....Extremely illuminating work continues to emerge from the interface between gender studies and both biblical studies and church history.
Feminist theology continues to engage in a competent and often original way with the "high theory" of philosophy and social theory.
