Description

Women, Sainthood, and Power explores the life stories of an international gallery of female saints from the wide-angle lens of several intellectual disciplines and the close-up view afforded by keenly observed fine points of character. Oliva M. Esp�n combines multidisciplinary scholarly research with a novelist�s eye for detail to create vivid portraits of saints in their times and places. Using her own memories, Esp�n argues that there are lessons to learn today from the lives of these exceptional women. This book is recommended for scholars and students of psychology, religious studies, gender and women�s studies, history, cultural studies, and ethnic studies.Typham this is the title: Women, Sainthood, and Power A Feminist Psychology of Cultural Constructions
