’Overall, the book is testament to the vibrancy of feminist theology, in being continuous with earlier writings, while demonstrating surefootedness in negotiation of the very different academic and political terrain of the early twenty-first century. The book is useful in making soundings into contemporary feminist theologies, which range from scholarly interventions in a wider discourse to impassioned expression of quintessential feminist consciousness.’ Theological Book Review
