Review of Transforming the Faiths of Our Fathers: Women Who Changed American Religion
n the past, books on feminism in the 1960s and 1970s have excluded women in religion entirely. This void is filled with a new collection that details the stories of sixteen prominent women leaders in religious communities who actively fought to change society's views of women in religious realms. Letty Cottin Pogrebin, co-founder of Ms.; Elisabeth Schssler Fiorenza, feminist Biblical scholar; Carol P. Christ, leader of the Goddess movement; Riffat Hassan, Muslim feminist theolo-gian; and many more share their heroic stories and shed light on issues of faith, feminism, struggles, and triumphs. This com-- pelling compilation of spiritual journeys is essential for any-one inter-ested in the religious lives of women in the United States.

Diversity of religious feminisms
I highly recommend this book of personal stories by women who shaped religious feminism. It is an excellent resource for understanding the diversity of religious feminisms--Christian (Protestant, Catholic, Evangelical), Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, and Goddess spirituality.

Feminism finds religion at last
Thanks go to Ann Braude for her stellar work in breaking down the artificial divide between feminism and religious belief! This book shows that feminists have taken much of their inspiration from religious traditions and from the power of belief in their own lives. This book makes fascinating reading and will help to correct the bias against faith in the historical accounts of feminism.
