Description: "Why do so many women of faith have such a strong aversion to feminism? And why do so many feminists have an ardent mistrust of religion? These questions are at the heart of Helen LaKelly Hunt's look at the alliance between spiritual conviction and social action. Faith and Feminism offers a look at the lives of five women who combined their faith with feminist beliefs and who made the world a better place by doing so."--BOOK JACKET.
