Alice and the Wonderyes, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Catholic Church is the oldest male-dominated institution in the world - and feminism has so far had little impact on it. This book addresses the uncomfortable question: Why? Feminists such as Alice Schwarzer have shaped generations, broken taboos, and sparked debates. But ironically, it is precisely where women around the world are still structurally disenfranchised - in the Catholic Church - that mainstream feminism has remained surprisingly silent. "Alice and the Wonderyes" exposes the points of rupture: abortion, celibacy, women's ordination, sexual morality. It shows how reform movements such as Maria 2.0 dare to rebel - and where they are blocked. And it asks the pressing question: What would have to happen for feminism to finally wrest power from the Church, which has for centuries denied women control over their bodies, sexuality, and lives? Reflective, controversial, and enduringly effective - the arguments of (questioning) Critical Feminism are a call for change for all who believe that neither God nor society should be bound by patriarchal structures.
