O knihe
Melissa M. Wilcox explores the complex spiritual lives of queer women inthe Los Angeles area. She takes the reader on a tour of a colorful array ofreligious and secular groups that serve as spiritual resources for these women --from the well-known Metropolitan Community Churches to Wiccan covens, from the Gayand Lesbian Sierrans to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Arguing that thesewomen's stories are exemplary cases of postmodern patterns of religious identity, belief, and practice, Wilcox offers a nuanced analysis of contemporary Westernspirituality and selfhood, and a detailed exploration of the history of queerreligious organizing in Los Angeles. Queer Women and Religious Individualism isimportant reading for scholars in religious studies, sociology, women's studies, andLGBT studies.
