Focusing on the contemplative process as women's journeyfrom oppression to liberation, Lanzetta draws especially onthe mysticism of Julian of Norwich and Teresa of Avila. Shelays out the contemplative techniques used by mystics toachieve their highest spiritual potential and also investigateshow unjust social and political conditions afflict women'ssouls.
Lanzetta identifies a specific historical female mystical path(the via feminina) and draws contemporary conclusions forhow women might understand their bodies, their rights, andtheir ethics.
