Reviews

Well-known feminist theologian Morton was one of the first to teach a course on women, theology, and language (in the Theological School for Drew University). In this collection of ten essays from 1970 to the 1980s, she traces the development both of her own consciousness-raising and, to some extent, of theologizing from women's experience in general. She pays special attention to the nature of images and how they function, whether consciously or unconsciously, with peculiar clarity. This book is recommended for women's studies and religion collections; it is quite accessible to the general reader, but feminists and (one hopes) theologians will both find challenging material here.
