Amazon Review
What are women looking for or rebelling against when they join new religious movements? Susan Palmer focuses on seven different new religions that differ dramatically in the roles they offer women. She looks at sex, family structure and the power accorded women. And in the process she gives us a peek inside the sometimes exotic, sometimes appealing, sometimes dizzying world of these unfamiliar religions.
