Wise Women: Over 2000 years.....

This not only is a great read for some one studying women in literature, but also the book was in fantastic condition.

VERY GOOD

This is a wonderful books that explores women in spirituality and their different areas of spirituality and religion--how they interpreted their Divine Spirit and relationship with him/her/it. I give this book to my spiritual friends--- and is also a GREAT book to read and reflect on in the BUBBLEBATH! If that sounds sacriligeous, I beg your pardon! If I spelled sacriligous wrong, I beg your pardon! It has the gamit of women through the ages: From Sappho (?) to women mystics, to Mother Theresa and Starhawk. Read it and get educated!

Yay for wise women!

The world needs more wise women. I want all of these women to live in my house with me, and share all of their wisdom. You don't find better crones than these ones.
