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

Spiritual experience is a liberating source of women's identity and their resistance to oppression.

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.
