Woman prayer, woman song : resources for ritual / Miriam Therese Winter ; illustrated by Meinrad Craighead.

Plot

In her preface, Miriam Therese Winter asserts that "the status of women [in Christianity] is the consequence of a worldview shaped by centuries of ritual behavior that rehearses and continually reaffirms that women are subservient and therefore excluded by the rules from certain roles." Here, in this book, Winter aids a reversal of that status quo by providing both liturgies and songs to provide new, inclusive rituals, and models how a feminist hermeneutic can revitalize tradition. The author is a member of the Medical Mission Sisters and was Professor of Liturgy, Worship and Spirituality at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut at the time this was written.
