Discussion about women and spirituality can range from romanticized claims of special privilege to insistence that equality means sameness. Some typical questions focus the issues. “What is a women's spirituality?” “How is it different from male spirituality?” “What is spirituality, anyway?” And, “what is a feminist spirituality?” “Is it androgynous?” “Is it a stage on the way to something else?”
1 An earlier version of these reflections was presented at a seminar on feminist spirituality organized by Mary Jo Weaver of Indiana University, Bloomington, in October, 1981, and supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment.
