Summary

This powerful book was Mary Daly's first analysis of women and religion. In its original edition (1968) the book was a searing expose of Christian misogyny -- especially within the Catholic Church. Reissued with her 1985 New Archaic Afterwords, as well as her brilliant 1975 Autobiographical Preface and Feminist Postchristian Introduction, The Church and the Second Sex, now more than ever, represents one of the most important critiques of sexism in the Christian tradition. Book jacket.

Author Biography

Mary Daly (1928–2010) was a world-renowned radical feminist philosopher who held doctorates in theology and philosophy from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. Her groundbreaking books include Church and Second Sex, Beyond God the Father, Gyn/Ecology, Pure Lust, Websters' First New Intergalatic Wickedary of the English Languague (Conjured in Cahoots with Jane Caputi), and Outercourse.
