Offers a look at the way in which women's making of ritual has emerged from the rapidly developing field of women's spirituality and theology. This title uses ethnographic material drawn from the author's personal experience to show how the construction of ritual is a practice which uses storymaking and embodied action to empower women.
Ritual Making Women looks at the way in which women''s making of ritual has emerged from the rapidly developing field of women''s spirituality and theology. The author uses ethnographic material to explore how the construction of ritual uses story-making and embodied action to empower women. Ritual, far from being a timeless and universal practice, is shown to be a contextual and gendered performance in which women subvert conventional distinctions of private and public. The book combines narrative and case study material and draws on feminist theology and theory, social anthropology and gender studies.
