After Patriarchy: Feminist Transformations of the World Religions

Do the worlds religious traditions possess authentic, sexism-transcending, yet concrete, life-giving elements?

Contributors include: Delores S. Williams, Linda Gupta, Riffat Hassan, Rita M. Gross, Judith Plaskow, Paula M. Cooey, Ines Marie Talamantez and Emily Culpper.
