Hello Wonderful Sisters: I was sent your link by Charlene Spreknak and I am interested myself, in contributing a book review – if the reply section will take it… I will forward it with this message and if not, please let me know how to submit an article and/or book excerpt for: “Feminine Reformation; a goddess meta narrative textbook” primer. Thank you, Jayne DeMente 4 http://www.womensheritageproject.ning.com.
Just saw your link on the Wildhunt.org blog. For many reasons, such as dis-covering the realms of Deep Memory (a la Daly), I find this site an excellent resource.
The reason I write: Do you have an RSS feed?
Blessed Be,
Aimhirghin
Hi Aimhirghin!
Thanks so much for you kind words! Thrilled you have found this blog a resource and have joined our community. Yes, here is our RSS Feed: http://feminismandreligion.com/feed/
I’l see if I can find a way to post it on the blog so it is easily accessible. Thanks for asking!
Re: Driscoll article on Mary Daly
I’m thrilled to see that young scholars are writing about Daly and speaking of how transformational her work was in their lives. It is important, however, particularly when clarifying facts, to clarify them all. In her article, Driscoll spoke of Daly’s departure from her University, and the facts around the allegation that she would not teach male students. This is helpful, because her departure and her stance on what happened to her is still tainted by myth and legend.
However, Driscolls’ passing remark about Mary’s “unwillingness to dialogue” with Audre Lorde also needs clarification. The original argument between them ensued when Daly was criticized about her objection to FGM (female genital mutilation), which she described as torture. When Audre framed the practice as a “cultural prerogative”, and dismissed Daly’s condemnation of the practice as “racist”, Daly’s reply, in part, was her assertion that there is one culture, and it’s patriarchy. There are only variations of the same theme.
Daly never meant to offend Audre Lorde personally, and in fact, sent her a letter to attempt to clarify her position and to make amends to Lorde. Lorde never publicly acknowledged this letter, and facts of the correspondence were not uncovered until many years after Lorde’s death, when Audre’s biographer uncovered the document. Mary Daly continued to continue taking flak for the supposed “stand-off”, and allegations of racism. However, Daly had the integrity to never publicly dispute Lorde’s assertion that Daly refused to dialogue with her. It saddens me that the myth of Daly’s “racism” persists, even within Feminist academia, when the facts of the matter have now been in print, for years.
Mary’s uncompromisingly fierce stance in support of women often got her into trouble. As Driscoll implied, she was not warm and fuzzy. She was, however, one of our strongest, most visionary Feminist theorists. She brought us vocabulary that we could use to reclaim ourselves and explain our circumstance within and outside of the framework of patriarchy.
It is important that we, as women who are educating other women, to get it right. Thanks for writing about Mary Daly, Katie, and take heart that you don’t need to continue to feel bad about Daly’s conduct around Audre Lorde.
Bright Blessings,

Carol Christ recommended that I get in touch with you. I’m an author and a spiritual feminist and I hold strong opinions about feminism and religion. Mostly that religion needs more feminism. Carol tells me that I should write a guest blog. I don’t know how your site works. Can you please give me information?
Ladies, thank you for sharing your knowledge on the feminism movements of our country and sometimes beyond.
Where is Carol Christ’s post from March 9???
This post will go up permanently on Monday, March 12th. Thanks.
What happened to Carol’s post about Easter and Goddess?
It’s scheduled for Monday – it accidentally went up for a few seconds – but you will see it Monday

Hi there! I am a graduate student at TCU, and I am wondering if Feminism and Religion has an academic journal? I love this blog, but I am looking for academic journals that match my interest in feminism and spirituality/religion. The only one I have found so far is Women’s Studies Quarterly, so could you recommend any others? Or do you run your own?
Thank you so much!
Just wondered whether anyone has perused this information from the Tony Blair Foundation for International Women’s Day, on “Is religion good for women?” – http://www.tonyblairfaithfoundation.org/news/2013/03/07
Thought this might interest/entertain u. http://youtu.be/TSjS4RAgqdY
