Description

This feminist classic (first published in 1982) presents a chorus of voices exploring their authentic spirituality. The essays are active rather than reactive, revolutionary rather than reformist, and express a broad political awareness. Rather than codifying a religion exclusively for women, the authors address a range of contemporary issues that are informed by spirituality, our attitude toward life on Earth. Part One: Discovering a History of Power • What the Goddess Means to Women• Mythic Heras as Models of Strength and Wisdom Part Two: Manifesting Personal Power• Consciousness/Energy/Action• Self-Images of Strength and Wholeness Part Three: Transforming the Political• The Unity of Politics and Spirituality• Applications of Spirituality as a Political Force - from Amzon
