See more of this title: Mending a Torn World: Women in Interreligious Dialogue

The voices of women are typically excluded from dialogues between representatives of world religions. This exlcusion has the additional effect of obscuring the very real diversity of women's perspectives within each tradition. This book remedies both forms of omission--highlighting the contributions of women in interreligious dialogue, while also exposing the significant differences between "conservative" and "progressive" voices within their respective traditions. O'Neill does not pretend to solve these problems, but she brings new understanding and light to the search.
