Resumen:
A fascinating survey of the careers often very different women -- among them Susan Howatch, Annie Dilard, and Iris Murdoch -- examines the ways in which each has developed her spiritual life. Annie Dillard found the sacred in the natural world. Iris Murdoch in a quest for good. Danah Zohar converted to Judaism. From the astonishing career of surgeon Sheila Cassidy, who was imprisoned for her beliefs in Chile, to the transformation of Elaine MacInnes from Catholic missionary to Zen master, these biographies of ten very different women offer a thoughtful and enlightening study of women's spiritual lives.
