Description

Susan Cahill (ed). Spiritual experience has always been, & is especially today, a liberating source of women’s identity & their resistance to oppression. These selections feature centuries of this tradition’s most intuitive writing: women ancient, medieval, & modern articulate the spiritual dimension of life. From Ishtar of Babylonia & Isis of Egypt to the medieval mystic Hildegard of Bingen, the contemporary African Amer. poet Lucille Clifton, & the Buddhist shaman Joan Halifax, these visionaries see justice & love, loss, aging, & freedom; & it inspires artistic expression & political action. This deeply moving collection of poetry, essays, prayers, letters, memoirs, stories, & theologies by wise women is a source of uplifting thought for women in any time, at any age.
