Rebirth of the Goddess
Author: Carol P. Christ
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136763848
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
First published in 1999. One of the most unexpected developments of the late twentieth century is the rebirth of the religion of the Goddess in western cultures. Though we were taught that the Gods and Goddesses died with the triumph of Christianity, the re-emergence of the Goddess is not as surprising as it might seem. This book explores the meaning of the Goddess, and the questions we ask as well as the ways we answer them.

Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism
Author: Kathleen Skott-Myhre
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1317422422
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Industrial modernity's worship of rationality had a profound effect on women’s ways of knowing, marginalizing them along with other alternate forms of knowledge such as the imagination and the unconscious. Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism discusses the importance of women’s spiritual knowledge throughout history and under the current socio-economic consensus. Within a critical analysis of the subjugation of certain knowledges, it investigates in particular the role that psychology and psychiatry have played in the repression of women. Aimed at students and researchers in the social sciences, the book will also appeal to anyone interested in critical psychology, politics, activism and social change.
