- Description
- In this biography the reader will follow Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu from her humble Albanian birth to worldwide celebrity as Mother Teresa. The nun who attended to the dying and diseased in Calcutta, India, and established her Missionaries of Charity around the world is revealed to have a singular determination from a young age. As a woman in the patriarchal Catholic system, she had to prove to the hierarchy, even the Vatican, that she was capable of handling each project she proposed. Her vision to live and work among the 'poorest of the poor' as one of them led to the founding of a new order that tended to society's outcasts. The narrative chronicles the expansion and success of the order and the eventual attention that was showered on her efforts.

- This book on engaged Buddhism focuses on women working for social justice in a wide range of Buddhist traditions and societies. Contributors document attempts to actualize Buddhism’s liberating ideals of personal growth and social transformation.

- Description
- This book revises our understanding of women's place in the institutional and spiritual revival known as the Catholic Reformation. Focusing on Paris, where fifty new religious congregations for women were established, it examines women's active role as founders and patrons of religious communities. Diefendorf also establishes a new understanding of the chronology and character of France's Catholic Reformation by locating the movement's origins in a penitential spirituality rooted in the agonies of religious war. She argues that a desire to appease the wrath of God through acts of heroic asceticism born of the wars did not subside with peace but found new outlets in the creation of contemplative convents. By the 1630s, charitable service was supplanting penitential asceticism as the dominant spiritual mode. Capitalizing on the Council of Trent's call to catechize an ignorant laity, pious women founded innovative new congregations to aid less favored members of their sex and established lay confraternities to serve society's outcasts and the poor.

- Description
- Gutschow has lived for three years among a group of nuns in the Indian Himalayas, collecting their stories and studying their lives. Her book offers an ethnography of Buddhist monastic culture from the perspective of nuns. She depicts a gender hierarchy where monks direct and nuns serve in the very fields and houses blessed by monastic rites. looking at historical social patterns of patronage as well as recent cultural shifts in feminism, globalism, and politics, she investigates the changing balance of power between monks and nuns. Most recently, nuns have begun to engage in everyday acts of resistance and subversion to contest the predominant power of monks.

- Unconventional Sisterhood is an ethnographic exploration of the ways in which Filipina Missionary Benedictine Sisters are renegotiating traditional understandings of gender, religious responsibility, and national identity in the context of a rapidly globalizing nation. Unlike the popular stereotypes of staid sisters cloaked in rigid religious dogmatism, they are doing so by telling jokes, engaging in eclectic religious rituals, maintaining connections with a local nationalist cult, and committing themselves to a radical and feminist politics.

- Vier generaties vrouwen kijken terug naar het meisje dat ze ooit waren, naar een verleden waarin niets mocht, maar soms veel gebeurde. Over lijf en leden, over zoenen en vrijen spreken 101 vrouwen – onze grootmoeders en moeders – open en sereen, soms met enige schroom. Aan Diane De Keyzer vertellen ze over seksuele voorlichting en hoe die al dan niet werd ontweken, over de allereerste menstruatie en de schaamte, over de verhaaltjes en het bijgeloof. Ze weten nog goed hoe het was, die eerste keer. En hoe ze moesten voorbehoeden door voorzichtig te zijn. Kortom, over de lusten en de lasten van de liefde. Over idolen, maten en gewichten en schoonheidsidealen die evolueren. Niet alleen getrouwde vrouwen die op mannen vallen doen hun verhaal, maar ook vrouwen die nooit trouwden of vrouwen die van vrouwen hielden, ook toen lesbisch nog niet bestond..
