Women in Search of the Sacred (Arkana)

A collection of essays on 20th century women (mostly still living) whose lives or work have been concerned with spirituality, or have contained an important spiritual dimension. It will be a kind of companion volume to the author's successful "weavers of wisdom" but focusing on the women's lives and experience rather than their teaching. People interviewed include Iris Murdoch, Susan Howatch, Sheila Cassidy, Annie Dillard and Maya Angelou. Those no longer living include Annie Besant and Madame de Salzmann.
