Riassunto

The slogan of the contemporary women's movement "The personal is the political" comes alive over and over again in the pages of this book. The recurrent theme is the question: How can and do religious rituals nurture and challenge feminists in their work for justice and well-being in the world? From listening to women's voices and stories, new ways of naming the Holy emerge in terms such as community, vulnerability, beauty, loss, embodiment, survival, and resistance. As the interviews that form the background of this book show, women want rituals that relate to their ordinary experiences, rituals they can do alone or in community, rituals that draw them into modes of being other than the ones they experience in patriarchal culture, rituals that affirm, strengthen, and empower them in their social relationships, economic situations, and bodily changes.
To Make and Make Again is rooted in the experiences of Canadian prairie women, reflecting a "hinterland mentality" and a pioneer culture that is both fiercely independent and fiercely loyal to community. The book offers us the opportunity to hear voices "different" perhaps from the ones we are accustomed to hearing. Yet the longings, losses, joys, and insights voiced here speak, however "differently," to the problems of women everywhere - of how to connect their lives and their work, their politics and their spiritual strivings. To Make and Make Again weaves a rich tapestry of feminism and religious ritual, social justice and spirituality, integrating them into a vision and practice of feminist ritual thealogy.
