Summary
  • In this exploration of the apparent conflicts and tensions between feminism and spirituality, Carol Lee Flinders uncovers how she found that a life of meaning, self-knowledge, and freedom absolutely depends on both.
  • In At the Root of This Longing, Flinders identifies the four key points at which the paths of spirituality and feminism seem to collide - embracing silence vs. finding voice, relinquishing ego vs. establishing "self," resisting desire vs. reclaiming the body, and enclosure vs. freedom - and sets out to discover not only the sources of these conflicts, but how they can be reconciled.
