Overview
1987 Madeleva Lecture in Spirituality, Mary Collins. Women have a special intuition of God that has been too long neglected by the churches but which can be recognized today in the experiences of remarkable women witnesses.Editorials
Library Journal
Women, Collins suggests, have always encountered suspicion when trying to share prayer experiences with men. This explores insights of three modern women marginally or centrally identified with Catholicism: the painter Meinrad Craighead, a former Benedictine contemplative; poet Anne Sexton; and writer Annie Dillard. Discussing also a group of Jewish feminists who gather monthly for a liturgy around ``Miriam's well,'' this is most provocative. ECBook Details
