Synopsis:
Spiritual experience has always been, and is especially today, a liberating
source of women's identity and their resistance to oppression. This pathbreaking
anthology represents 2,000 years of the prophetic and practical wisdom of
women's spirituality, featuring writings that range from Ishtar of Babylonia
and Isis of Egypt to the medieval mystic Hildegard of Bingen to contemporary
African-American poet Lucille Clifton and Buddhist shaman Joan Hilfax.
