First published in 1968, "The Church and the Second Sex" represents one of the most important critiques of sexism in the Christian tradition.

'In this deeply original, provocative book, outrage, hilarity, grief, profanity, lyricism and moral daring join in bursting the accustomed bounds even of feminist discourse.' --"The New York Times Book Review"

'Certainly one of the most promising theological statements of our time.' --The Christian Century
'Not for the timid, this brilliant book calls for nothing short of the overthrow of patriarchy itself.' --The Village Voice
