| Feminist and theological writer, born in Schenectady, New York, USA. She studied theology at St Mary's College, Indiana, and Fribourg University, Switzerland, and taught at Fribourg (1959–66) and Boston College (from 1969). Having analysed the effects of male bias in The Church and the Second Sex (1968), she abandoned her attempts to reform official Roman Catholic attitudes and became a post-Christian radical feminist in Beyond God the Father (1973). Later books include Pure Lust: Elemental Feminist Philosophy (1984), Gyn/ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism (1991), and Outercourse: The Bedazzling Voyage (1993). |
