A woman's asking for equality in the church would be comparable to a black person's demanding equality in the Ku Klux Klan.

Women have had the power of naming stolen from us.

Almost everything has been stolen from us by the patriarchy. Our creativity has been stolen, our creative energies, our religion. I want it back.

I didn't study theology out of piety. I studied it because I wanted to know.

Work is a substitute religious experience for many workaholics.

I saw women that were repressed. When they're in classes with young men, they shut up all the time. They're laughed at if they have unusual ideas. They have to be sexy; then, they can't really think.
