Wise Women - over Two Thousand Years of Spiritual Writing by Women

Over Two Thousand Years of Spiritual Writing by Women

Omschrijving

Gathers poems, essays, prayers, letters, and memoirs by women from various spiritual backgrounds, from Ishtar of Babylonia, to contemporary poet Lucille Clifton Spiritual experience is a liberating source of women's identity and their resistance to oppression. Moving from the Native American tale "The Creation of Spider Woman" and the poet-nun of Mexico Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to the contemporary African American thinker Marian Wright Edelman and the Buddhist shaman Joan Halifax, these visionaries see justice and love, loss, aging, and freedom. It inspires them to artistic expression and political action. This deeply moving collection of memoirs, stories, poetry, letters, prayers, and theologies is a source of empowering and uplifting thought for women in any time, at any age.
