'... paving the way for an entirely different world view on the spiritual nature and role of women.'

Joan Chittister


‘Thank God for unruly women like Verena Wright and for her positive and stimulating book. Parishes could well skip sermons on Sundays from time to time and read out chunks of it instead.’

Bruce Kent


‘A well researched and reflective account of the position of women in ecclesiastical and secular society, in the past and present. Verena Wright, wife, mother and ‘unruly’ woman uses literature, her own experience and other sources to discern and tell the story of women’s inferior status.'

Mary Kelly nds

In Maid in God’s Image, Verena Wright explores the feminine dimension through a range of texts in film, short stories, novels and gospel stories. Examining the fears that lie beneath the repression of female experience, she uncovers a positive appraisal of women as agents of change and disruption and seeks out the links between the unruly woman and the prophetic voice of Christianity.
