She is the author of Feminist Philosophy of Religion: The Rationality and Myths of Religious Belief (1997).

Her books include Sex and Death (2002), Misogyny in the Western Philosophical Tradition (1999) and The Philosophy of Religion (1998). Klappentext Feminist philosophy of religion as a subject of study has developed in recent years because of the identification and exposure of explicit sexism in much of the traditional philosophical thinking about religion. This struggle with a discipline shaped almost exclusively by men has led feminist philosophers to redress the problematic biases of gender, race, class and sexual orientation of the subject. Anderson and Clack bring together new and key writings on the core topics and approaches to this growing field. Each essay exhibits a distinctive theoretical approach and appropriate insights from the fields of literature, theology, philosophy, gender and cultural studies. Beginning with a general introduction, part one explores important approaches to the feminist philosophy of religion, including psychoanalytic, poststructualist, postmetaphysical, and epistemological frameworks. In part two the authors survey significant topics including questions of divinity, embodiment, autonomy and spirituality, and religious practice. Supported by explanatory prefaces and an extensive bibliography which is organized thematically, "Feminist Philosophy of Religion" is an important resource for this new area of study. Zusammenfassung Feminist Philosophy of Religion: Critical Readings brings together key new writings in this growing field. Inhaltsverzeichnis Pamela Sue Anderson, Ellen T.
