Abstract

"Saint Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373), one of the most famous visionary women of the late Middle Ages, lived in Rome for the last 23 years of her life. Much of her extensive literary work was penned there. Her Celestial Revelations circulated widely from the late 14th century to the 17th century, copied in Italian scriptoria, translated into vernacular, and printed in several Latin and Italian editions. In the same centuries, an extraordinary number of women writers across the peninsula were publishing their work. What echoes might we find of the foreign widow's prophetic voice in their texts? This volume offers innovative investigations, written by an interdisciplinary group of experts, of the profound impact of Birgitta of Sweden in Renaissance Italy. Contributors include: Brian Richardson, Jane Tylus, Isabella Gagliardi, Clara Stella, Marco Faini, Jessica Goethals, Anna Wainwright, Eleonora Cappuccilli, Eleonora Carinci, Virginia Cox, Unn Falkeid, and Silvia Nocentini"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"#UsToo: How Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Women Changed Our Communities examines the relationship between sexual harassment, gender, and multiple religions, highlighting the voices of women of different faiths who found their voices and used them for the betterment of their communities. Through personal interviews and other research, this book explores the actions of American Jewish, Muslim, and Christian women who broke the silence about sexual misconduct and abuse of power by male co-religionists. Using a three-dimensional, ethnoreligious approach that examines gender, ethnicity, and religion, it addresses the relationship between religion and women's experiences and examines both historical contexts and present-day experiences of sexual misconduct within faith communities. This book will be of key interest to students within Gender Studies, History, Religion, and Sociology, clergy and lay religious leaders, and human rights advocates. Keren"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

A follow-up to the highly successful Worth Their Salt, published in 1996, Worth Their Salt, Too brings together a new set of biographies of women whose roles in Utah's history have not been fully recognized, despite their significance to the social and cultural matrix, past and present, of the state. These women-community and government leaders, activists, artists, writers, scholars, politicians, and others-made important contributions to the state's history and culture. Some of them had experiences that reveal new aspects of the state's history, while others simply led lives so interesti

Abstract

Leben und Wundertaten der heiligen Elisabeth von Thüringen sind der Inhalt des 'Elisabethlebens' des Eisenacher Ratsschreibers Johannes Rothe (ca. 1360-1434). Rothe, der zuvor bereits geistliche Werke sowie drei umfangreiche Chroniken ('Eisenacher Stadtchronik', 'Thüringische Landeschronik' und 'Weltchronik) verfasst hat, bietet in der paargereimten Verslegende von über 4000 Versen die umfassende Wiedergabe der chronikalischen und legendarischen Überlieferung, wobei er neben den Chroniken besonders die lateinische Vita Dietrichs von Apolda auswertet. In dem formalen Anschluss an Heiligenlegenden und der inhaltlichen Orientierung an der Chronistik nimmt Rothe einen gattungsübergreifenden Standpunkt ein. Elisabeths Leben wird in die Genealogie des Landgrafengeschlechts eingebunden und damit zum Bestandteil der landgräflichen Memorialkultur. In der Rezeptionsgeschichte des Textes, mit zahlreichen Abschriften bis ins 18. Jh., sind entsprechende Schwerpunkte nachweisbar: das Werk wurde teils als Andachtsbuch genutzt, teils als Bestandteil der Dynastiememoria des thüringischen Herrscherhauses. Rothes Text wird hier erstmals auf der Grundlage der gesamten Überlieferung ediert. Im Parallelabdruck wird eine zweite Fassung geboten, sodass sich die Interessenverschiebungen gegenüber dem Text und die damit verbundenen Varianzen jeweils überschauen lassen.br›

Abstract

In Mothering, Public Leadership, and Women’s Life Writing , Claire E. Wolfteich presents a series of case studies in Christian spirituality, bringing mothers’ autobiographical writing into focus for theological reflection. From the medieval mystic Margery Kempe to the twentieth-century activist Dorothy Day, from African American preacher Jarena Lee to labor organizer Dolores Huerta, the book mines women’s first-person writing, surfacing critical issues for theological analysis. Listening deeply to these diverse maternal voices, the book advances creative theological reflection on work, vocation, time poverty, Sabbath, and spiritual guidance. Mothering, Public Leadership, and Women’s Life Writing demonstrates the significance of the study of mothering for theology and spirituality studies and the import of life writing as an underutilized source for practical theology.

Abstract

Alors que l'ère des grands maîtres de la mystique espagnole semble close, la floraison des autobiographies spirituelles féminines, dans les années 1580-1720, témoigne d'un double dynamisme : celui des femmes qui aspirent à la sainteté, à travers une expérience intérieure marquée par l'irruption de grâces surnaturelles ; celui des ordres religieux et de toute une société, qui voient en ces femmes le signe de l'élection divine. Pourtant, le débat reste vif, entre partisans et adversaires du mysticisme féminin. L'itinéraire des aventurières du surnaturel et de leurs écrits s'inscrit dans cette tension entre promotion et censure.

Abstract

In this book, Helena Kupari examines the lived religion of Finnish, evacuee Karelian Orthodox women through an innovative reading and application of Pierre Bourdieu’s practice theory. After the Second World War, Finland ceded most of its Karelian territories to the Soviet Union. Over 400,000 Finns, including two thirds of the Finnish Orthodox Christians, lost their homes. This book traces the ways in which the religion of Orthodox women was affected by their displacement and their experiences as members of the Orthodox minority in post-war and contemporary Finland. It contributes to theoretical discussions on lived religion by producing an account of lifelong minority religion as habitus, or an embodied and practical “sense of religion”.
