A contribution to the Worla Council if Churches` Ecumenical Decade in Solidarity with Women, this book describes how women are rendered powerless in society and chucrch, and explores how they may by empowered and how they may celebrate their power. In three sections eleven women from eight countries reflect on expressions of powerlessness, bring out insights from a variety of biblical sources, and discuss the appropriate and inappropriate uses of power.
The power we celebrate, in the words of Mercy Oduyoye, WCC deputy general secretary, in "one more example of womens`s gossip whispered among women becoming a word for the ears of the whole community".
