The Truths of the Body: Women’s History, Women’s Lives, Women's Faith

“Women have been, and still are, defined by their bodies and their life stage. What has Christianity done to collude with this process, or might it even have the power to challenge it? We’ll think about what medicine and faith have told us about our bodies, and relate this in particular to the experience of menopause.”
