  At this point the information is dated, although still a good starting point for someone who is wanting to understand women's spirituality. The arguments here are grounded in White Western/Christian culture and are rightly arguing against the assumptions that male experience is normative for all humans, psychology is right to other women (Freud among many others), history is right to prioritize male dominance and privilege and so on.
  
  Since this was written so many things have entered into our consciousness such as the fact Western Culture is not normative or necessarily the epitome of human excellence, there are historical and extant examples of matriarchy and matriarchal cultures to compare with patriarchy, female perspectives are equal to and fundamentally different from male in both form and function, gender fluidity exists, Christianity is no longer the sole acceptable religion for theological discussion and so much more.
  
  It's amazing to see how far things have progressed since this was published.
