Here are thirty-eight key texts, representing the voices of women in Africa, Asia and Latin America as well as those working among minorities in places such as Israel, the USA and the Pacific. .... All texts are placed in context by brief introductory comments, while the main introduction to the whole book provides a helpful overview of the major issues and developments in Christian-feminist thinking throughout the Third World and beyond". -- back cover.
