Lanzetta illuminates the transformative potential of theclassical tradition of women mystics, especially in lightof contemporary violence against women around the world.

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.

Industry Reviews

"Lanzetta's Radical Wisdom is a feminist revisioning of mysticism. Going beyond both the positive and the negative paths of the mystical journey, Lanzetta proposes a 'via feminina' that can heal the deep spiritual wounds of patriarchy and transform women's inner and outer humanity in holistic relation to others--men and women, God and the cosmos."
