Abstract

Ross Shepard Kraemer vividly recreates the religious lives of early Christian, Jewish, and pagan women, with many fascinating examples (...). The relationship among female autonomy, sexuality, and religion emerges as a persistent theme. Analyzing the monastic Jewish Therapeutae and various Christian communities, Kraemer demonstrates the paradoxical liberation which women achieved by rejection of sexuality, the body, and the female. In the epilogue, Kraemer pursues the disturbing implications such findings have for contemporary women. [publisher's description]
