Summary
"In the sixties, Merton invited a group of contemplative women-- cut off by inflexible rules from any analysis of important movements in the Church and the world--to make a retreat with him at his abbey in Kentucky. What he and they said on such themes as 'Zen, a Way of Living Life Directly,' 'Prophetic Choices,' and 'The Feminine Mystique,' is the text of this book"--Publisher marketing.
