4.0 out of 5 stars
A Feminist's Guide to learning the essentials,
By Harvey Beardman "J Dizzle" (Springfield, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women and Religious Traditions (Paperback)
This book was purchased as a textbook for my Women in Religion class. It is a very feministic book, as the title may suggest. However, it does go into a lot of history of Women in various religions and their roles within them.
