This review is from: The Spiral Path: Explorations in Women's Spirituality (Paperback)
Different women - and a couple of men - focus essays on various aspects of spirituality as applied to women. It really opened my eyes to new aspects of things I've been thinking about for some time. The reviewers are from a wide variety of belief systems. Having all these different viewpoints - which are often surprisingly similar - aids in deciding which paths one wants to further explore. A good investment for any woman or girl who feels a need for spiritual growth.
