It examines how women today are subverting traditional ideas about gender, using their own bodies as sacred text, and practicing one of the fastest growing religions and spiritual belief systems. The book, the first of its kind, is an edited collection of chapters from different scholars in Britain and the United States. It takes an interdisciplinary perspective through the use of participant observation, textual analysis, and in-depth interviews with women who celebrate the Female Divine. A special feature includes three chapters by non-academic practitioner/teachers.
