The long-silent voices of our spiritual foremothers are heard again in this diverse anthology of diaries, speeches, and essays that demonstrate women's influence on America's religious history. The strong, stellar words of Mother Jones, Zora Neale Hurston, and Toni Morrison are among those that call out for women's struggles to be heard and demand that the contributions of our female ancestors be recognized and celebrated. Reflecting Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and Native American traditions, In Our Own Voices is a literary champion of the American spiritual experience as told by generations of women.
