Women Religion Revolution by Gina Messina,Xochitl Alvizo Pdf

In a world where women’s issues are political issues, feminism and religion are often scripted as opposing sides. But, drawing on the messages of love and social justice from within their religious traditions, women are leading feminist movements that promote positive social change at both the micro and macro levels. Religion is fueling women’s efforts to revolutionize the world! Women Religion Revolution is a provocative collection of essays written by women who understand that being passive is not an option. Each story resonates with passion drawn from the well of faith, along with a drive to forge a connection with other women. The experiences that can shape a woman’s soul are often negative and isolating—sexual assault, domestic violence, eating disorders, addictions—but in seeking healing, in seeking to effect revolutionary change, women often find that the path leads toward other women, toward a connectedness that strengthens us all. This is a very stimulating book. This volume brings together nineteen interesting articles from women from a variety of religious and social traditions. A good book to read and to own as a resource in women's experience of feminism and religion. Rosemary Radford Ruether, Professor of Theology, Claremont Graduate University This is feminist religious thought at its most courageous and creative. The narratives by these authors offer inspiring, revolutionary, spiritual insights about women’s lives, bodies, and violence. Traci C. West, Professor of Ethics and African American Studies, Drew University Theological School The women in this volume are bold in uncovering persistent problems and rethinking new possibilities for thought and action. Their essays are personal, based on the authors’ own experiences as Muslims, Jews, Christians, and Mormons; but they articulate their insights in ways that reverberate in many different contexts. These essays touch on all areas of concern for women: reproduction, sexuality, body image, violence and abuse, poverty and wealth, spiritual power and women’s ordination, the sacred and the Divine. These essays will inspire you. Margaret Toscano, Associate Professor of Comparative Studies, University of Utah

The Religion of Beauty in Woman by Jefferson Butler Fletcher Pdf

Excerpt from The Religion of Beauty in Woman: And Other Essays on Platonic, Love in Poetry and Society The following essays are chapters of a possible literary history of Woman. Written mostly by men, this literary history has treated, with curious alternation, its subject as idol or doll. Her influence has been held supermannish - daimonic or demonic - under the prevalence of ideals monastic, chivalric, or platonic; in the intervening moments of enlightenment, Aufklarung common sense, she has - up to date - been dissected, and declared to be stuffed with sawdust. With occasional and individual exceptions, she has apparently been contented to accept this masculine writing up - or down - of her spiritual significance. "The greater part of what women write about women," declared their champion, John Stuart Mill, "is mere sycophancy to men." Recently, perhaps, "we have changed all that;" possibly no future Meredith will be justified in charging that Their sense is with their senses all mixed in, Destroyed by subtleties these women are!

The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf Pdf

The bestselling classic that redefined our view of the relationship between beauty and female identity. In today's world, women have more power, legal recognition, and professional success than ever before. Alongside the evident progress of the women's movement, however, writer and journalist Naomi Wolf is troubled by a different kind of social control, which, she argues, may prove just as restrictive as the traditional image of homemaker and wife. It's the beauty myth, an obsession with physical perfection that traps the modern woman in an endless spiral of hope, self-consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society's impossible definition of "the flawless beauty."

Dressing in the Beauty of Holiness by Tanjo C. Lonon Pdf

As I sit and observe the way the young, the middle age and yes some of the elderly women dress for church, God has inspired me to write about how we the Christian Woman should dress. Yes, we should feel free to wear whatever our hearts so desire, but there is a way that we should enter before the presence of the Lord. The Bible lets us know that we are of Royal Priesthood and that we are children of the King. There is a way we the Christian Women should present ourselves before the King. There are certain guide-lines that we must follow. We dont just go before the King in any ole thing and we must worship in the beauty of holiness.

The Beauty Suit by Lauren Shields Pdf

A young feminist finds herself questioning why “hotness” has become necessary for female empowerment—and looks for alternatives. Looking good feels good. But in a society where looking good is posited as being strong, while negotiating for better pay is statistically proven to damage our careers, is it fair to say that wicked eyeliner, weekly blowouts, and a polished Instagram feed are the keys to our liberation? If so—if “hot” really is a good enough synonym for “empowered”—why do so many of us feel, deep in our bones, that the sexy-as-strong model is a distraction? Is “pretty” still the closest to power women can get? Why is looking fierce an acceptable substitute for living in a world where women are safe? Inspired in seminary by American Muslimahs who wear the hijab for feminist reasons, Lauren Shields took off what she calls the Beauty Suit—the “done” hair, the tasteful and carefully applied makeup, the tight clothes and foot-binding shoes—for nine months. She’d really only wanted to do an experiment. Instead, her life—especially her views on what constitutes “liberation”—changed forever. Rooted in feminist theory and religious history, and guided by a snappy personal narrative, The Beauty Suit unpacks modern American womanhood: a landscape where the female body is still so often the battleground for male ideals, and where we struggle with our rights as human beings to define and exercise our freedom.
