Reviews
"The editors were astute (and catholic) to include an international range of experiences of the Church and feminism." --Boston College Magazine, I know of nothing in print that offers this engaging mix of voices rational and exalted, meliorative and audacious, troubled, pugnacious, quizzical, and sane., "This thoughtful work is recommended for academic libraries and for community libraries with a good religion circulation." --Library Journal, "... a nostalgic yet stimulating conversation with the author. Some I found familiar, like having lunch with old friends. Others were raw and provocative. In each of the chapters, the authors' personal and intimate accounts reveal their hopes and dreams, along with a sense of hopelessness and defeat." --Conscience, "...a must read for all thinking committed Catholics, especially bishops and priests. Here is a provocative collection of reflections and observations made by highly educated Catholics who are scholars, theologians, essayists, teachers, and writers and who are faithfully grappling with what is perhaps the most pressing question facing the Roman Catholic Church at the turn of the 21st Century: Is it possible to be a faithful Catholic and a progressive independent, even feminist, thinker?" --Catholic Library World

Synopsis
In this collection of essays, 22 writers, historians, theologians and feminists thoughtfully reflect on their own personal experiences with the Catholic Church. The essayists describe how they have, or in some cases have not, come to terms with a church that does not permit them full participation. In so doing, they offer practical suggestions for ways in which the Church can become more open to the concerns of its progressive members. Radford Ruether, who provides a brief history of 20th-century reform movements; internationally-known journalist Mary Kenny, who writes on the abortion debate in Ireland; Pulitzer Prize winner Madeleine Blais, who discusses her youth in parochial schools; short-story writer and New Yorker contributor Jean McGarry, who describes the clash of Catholic and secular cultures; and Grail co-founder Janet Kalven, who depicts the history of this widely recognized religious reform movement. Ebest provide context for these personal and poignant essays. In a format that is easily accessible to general readers, Reconciling Catholicism and Feminism? explores issues of concern to progressive and feminist Catholics, including abortion, birth control, clerical celibacy and the ordination of women., In this timely collection of essays, twenty-two widely respected writers, historians, theologians, and feminists thoughtfully reflect on their own personal experiences with the Catholic Church. The essayists movingly describe how they have, or in some cases have not, come to terms with a church that does not permit them full participation. In so doing, they offer practical suggestions for ways in which the church can become more open to the concerns of its progressive members.

A foreword by Sandra Gilbert and an introduction by Sally Barr Ebest and Ron Ebest provide context for these personal and poignant essays.
