Reversing the process used by many feminist and womanist theologians, Ingman (women's literature, Trinity College, Dublin) employs the insights of feminist theologies to illuminate her reading of some 20th-century women's fiction. Among her topics are convent schools, women's struggles with institutional religion, the female mystic, goddess feminism, ecofeminism, and womanism in Alice Walker.
