Other Books by Tina Beattie
Tina Beattie beautifully interweaves theology, experience (her own and that of other women past and present) and voices
from the Catholic tradition and her research on gender and sacramentality ... What is at stake here is nothing less than the life of the Church in the world and this imaginative, deeply faithful and creative theological intervention liberates discussions about the full participation of women in the life of the Church from the many and varied traps of recourse to discussions about equality, tradition or even ecumenical neighbourliness ... (The Pastoral Review)
​
Tina Beattie is a—or perhaps the—leading feminist theologian of her generation, but she is never easily pigeonholed. If this is a challenging book, often involving, as she says at one point, “thinking on the edge of the thinkable”, it is also rewarding in the way that her work usually is: by turns elusive, provocative and illuminating, but always adventurous and never falling into easily predicted patterns. (Karen Kilby, The Tablet)
... a book that is spectacularly interesting, though not an easy read. ... The author makes an impassioned bid for good scholarship, and demonstrates the value of this herself ... Heady stuff! (Lavinia Byrne, The Church Times)
​
The contents of this new Catholic feminism are bold, brave and sometimes Byzantine. (Graham Ward, Theology and Sexuality)

Tina Beattie has a breadth of scholarship and reading that takes the breath away, and has a deep understanding of what is happening. A wonderful read. (P.M. Webb, Amazon reviewer)
Tina Beattie has written a stunning book on the "theology of woman". ... It is hard to summarize the riches of this dense, rich, fruitcake of a book. (Janet Martin Soskice, Theology and Sexuality)

This book is amazing. ... The kind of book where I kept wanting to put the book down and *tell somebody*! (Eve's Reviews, GoodReads)
