kaylasbookishlife's review against another edition
5.0
i will preface this by saying that i do not identify as a Christian but i do identify as a Feminist.
i was browsing the library shelves and saw this one. i was curious as to why Gloria Steinem, whom i’ve never regarded as religious, would have written a foreword for a book about Christianity.
i’m a very curious person, always looking things up and asking too many questions. i quite enjoyed this book. i found it very enlightening and interesting. i really like the way the author wrote and i appreciated the message she was trying to craft. the author focuses on five women who identified within the Christian faith and how they are examples of how the two ideologies of Christianity and Feminism can be intertwined.
this was written in 2004 so i would like to see an updated version that maybe touches on things that have happened since then. this is definitely centred around American Christianity and American Feminism. the author did not cover what, in my opinion, is one of the major dichotomies between women of faith and feminism even though one of the women she was using as an example would have been the perfect introduction. (the anti-abortion movement/pro-choice movement)
perhaps that was a strategic choice. nevertheless this is one i would want to pick up to have and go back to in the future as i continue to read more feminist literature.
i realize this may seem like an unconventional read of mine but i assure you it is not. i tend to read things like this often but i’m just hesitant to really post about it.

An excellent introduction of the intersection of these 2 realms of thought and how very linked they actually are.

Didn't go as in depth as I'd like but it was interesting. I liked the stories of Sojourner Truth and Lucretia Mott.
