miriam therese winter has been a catholic feminist for 40 years. this book is one of many of her works i have used in planning retreats for both women and young adults. the rituals described in this book are powerful in and of themselves but are more valuable, in my opinion, for their ability to help readers view practically any object or any event as sacred. for every ritual i have used in a retreat based on mt's work, i have been able to creat two or three of my own. i appreciate the perspective.

mt is my friend--i met her fifteen years ago and we stay in touch--but even if she weren't, her writing connects readers to her and to others. what more could we ask?

Some interesting content, but very embedded in a Judeo-Christian mythos. Revisioned stories, scripture, and lessons with Biblical origins, using feminine pronouns, this book is deeply rooted in the language/perspectives of the Bible, but framed in female language.
