The French theorists discussed here, ambitious figures for many English-speaking
academics, come into their own on questions of language and symbolic order,
love and death, desire and political efficacy -- the natural turf of the religious.
This is an excellent collection of new essays on the important, but as yet
under-explored, confluence of French feminist theory and religious thought.

-- Janet Soskice, Reader in Philosophical Theology, University of Cambridge
                                                                                      

O'Grady is a stellar scholar on French thinking, who writes brilliantly, with subtle, sophisticated and insightful prose about Kristeva, religion and feminism.

-- Pamela Sue Anderson, Oxford University in The European Journal of Women's Studies (13: 1, p. 63)
                                                                                     


This is a wonderful book...a must read for all who wish to continue the struggle to think and live differently.

-- Lisa Isherwood, Founder of the School of Feminist Theology and Prof. of the University of Winchester (Feminist Theology, 15: 2006, p. 129)
                                                                                      

*Featured book at the American Academy of Religion panel session, November 2004.
