Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism cover

This book critically examines the marginalization of women's knowledge under capitalism, particularly through the lenses of psychology and psychiatry. Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism invites reflection on these issues.

In Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism, the author presents a critical examination of how women's unique ways of knowing have been systematically marginalized within the framework of postmodern capitalism. This analysis highlights the significant impact that psychology and psychiatry have had in repressing women's voices and their spiritual knowledge. By addressing these issues, the book aims to engage readers from various fields, including feminist psychology, critical psychology, and gender studies, inviting them to reconsider the value of women's perspectives in today's society.

The text delves into the historical context of industrial modernity, where the elevation of rationality often overshadowed and suppressed alternative forms of knowledge, such as imagination and the unconscious. This exploration underscores the importance of recognizing and valuing women's spiritual insights, which have been overlooked and dismissed in contemporary discourse. The book serves as both a critique and a call to action, urging readers to acknowledge the significance of these marginalized knowledges.

With its focus on the intersection of spirituality and capitalism, Feminist Spirituality under Capitalism is not only a scholarly resource for students and researchers in the social sciences but also an engaging read for anyone interested in activism, politics, and social change. The author encourages a re-evaluation of the ways in which women's spiritual knowledge can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable understanding of society.
