Feminist Theology: Voices from the Past

‘Setting three distinguished women carefully in their historical contexts, Ann Loades treats them as fellow human beings who can increase our moral understanding. Her approach is humane, serious, judicious, realistic and, above all, fair-minded, with a congenial emphasis on "full human flourishing". She is warmly but not fiercely on the side of women, and refreshingly able to appreciate the contribution of men. "Self-governance" is a keyword and demands not only listening to women, but honouring their responsible concern.’ – Helen Oppenheimer, author of The Hope of Happiness
