Beyond God the Father: Toward a Philosophy of Women's Liberation (1993)

Rosie Perera

A seminal work of feminist theology. Mary Daly was an American radical feminist philosopher, academic, and theologian. Daly taught at Boston College, a Jesuit-run institution, for 33 years.

"Certainly one of the most promising theological statements of our time." --The Christian Century

Someone wrote in a review on Goodreads: "What Daly is doing here is brilliant and forward-thinking and essential in conversations about patriarchy and Christianity. It's sort of astonishing to read this in 2018 and realize that so many of the ideas and conversations she takes to task are still happening almost 50 years after this was originally published. Patriarchy is alive and well, and Mary Daly's work is a valuable tool in combating patriarchy in Christian theology."

This as well as all of the foundational works of feminist theology are needed in Logos. They necessary for anyone doing work in contemporary theology.

The review you quoted is interesting, however the differences between the original text and the new introduction she wrote for the 2nd edition are striking.
