Description: An academic inquiry into the role of women in the Roman Catholic Church ; calls attention to the injustices that women experience within the hierachic and patriarchal confines of the Roman Catholic Church. The main intent of this work is to examine the exclusion of women from the ministrerial priesthood in light of Schussler-Fiorenza and Ruether's process of conversion to a self-awareness that men and women are the Church.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 177-198) and index.
