<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I forwarded this to a friend who knows about these
things, and she sent me the following reply. She and I are both involved with
the Feminist Library in London, and we reckon it might be worth your while
coming and browsing our stock - check out our website <A

also Feminist Archive North in Leeds and Feminist Archive South in Bristol who
might be able to help, though they have less books than us.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm sure there's lots of material out there - the first thing that
springs to mind are the more radical feminists who rejected Christianity
based on the patriarchal structure and consequently contributed towards
alternative spirituality. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mary Daly 'Gyn/Ecology' is a major work and I think she mentions
female genital mutilation in that. </DIV>
<DIV>Carol P. Christ tends to focus on Goddess spirituality,
and there are many interpretations who use Mary as a divine figure.
</DIV>
<DIV>(In the Feminist Library there is a book in room 101 called 'The
Virgin' on the shelf I have classified on this.) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Biblically, there are many female characters and analysis on the
interpretation of certain books. </DIV>
<DIV>I recommend Esther and Ruth in particular as starting points - lots
of theological work available, and if you're looking for a feminist
perspective: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
