Sacred Voices - Essential Women's Wisdom Through the Ages

Moving chronologically through millennia of women''s history from the earliest times to the present, this unique collection contains writings from over 173 of the world''s women sages and saints. Containing poetry, prayers, chants, meditations, and contemplative prose from all great religious traditions, this treasure trove gathers together for the first time the best of women''s spiritual wisdom. Women''s spiritual experience has been suppressed through much of modern history and is only now been recovered in its full richness. This anthology contains writings from hundreds of women from the past five millennia and a wide range of cultures. The collection encompasses all areas of women''s sacred experience from the most radically mystical encounters with the divine-including visions, locutions, and auditions-to simply daily awareness of the holy in all things.
