- Description
- These essays provide an accessible presentation of contemporary feminism and study of religion and reveal how feminism has affected religious institutions, theology and individual religious/spiritual practice. They describe the connections between the feminist movement from the early 1970s and religious studies as they have developed in the U.S. since then. Readings range from academic analyses to accounts of personal decision-making and struggle. It includes first-person and imaginative literature along with historical and analytical pieces from such authors as Jacquelyn Grant, Kwok Pui-Lan, Carol Christ, and Judith Plaskow. Multi-cultural and multi-generational representation from established voices and Third-Wave feminists. It includes three pieces by Muslim writers, four by African Americans, four by Jewish feminists, three by Latinas, and two by Asian Americans.

- Description
- Why do New Age tokens and practices like Reiki, Tarot, goddess worship capture the imagination of so many women? How has New Age culture become even more appealing than feminism? And are the two mutually exclusive? By examining New Age practices from macrobiotics to goddess worship to Native rituals, the author seeks to answer these questions by examining white women's participation in this hugely popular spiritual movement. While most feminist approaches to the New Age phenomenon have simply dismissed its adherents for their politically problematic racial appropriation practices, Karlyn Crowley looks at the political shortcomings of New Age beliefs and practices while reckoning with the political and cultural motivations which have prompted New Age women's individual and collective spiritualities. New Age spirituality is in fact the dynamic outgrowth of a long-standing tradition of women's social and political power expressed through religious writings, art, and public discourse, and is key to understanding contemporary women's history and religion's role in modern American culture alike.
