Synopsis

Palmer's investigation of the deep bonds between women's spiritual identity and women's sexual identity inaugurates a significant new series on Women and Gender in North American Religions. Women's participation in such religions often allows them to redefine their traditional social roles through a playful reinterpretation of their sexual roles. This study provides a clear record of the voices of women interpreting the almost palpable bond between the sacred and the sexual.
