Religion in French feminist thought : critical perspectives

This text unites in one volume some of the foremost modern theological responses to classic French feminist writings on religion.

Considering influential thinkers as Helene Cixous, Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray and Catherine Clement, and focusing on questions concerning divinity, sanctity and ethics, it permits quick and easy access to a subject of growing popularity and philosophical interest.

It underscores the ways in which French feminist thought has become a valuable tool in feminist efforts to rethink religion, and responds to the promise of French feminism as an important resource for religious studies in years to come.

The book is suitable for both for independent use and as a companion book to "French Feminism on Religion: A Reader".
