This work, the result of a two-year study by Frances O'Connor and Becky Drury focusing on Brazil and the United States, examines how and why women are participants and promoters of their own oppression in the Roman Catholic Church. Using the Church as a model for society in general, The Female Face in Patriarchy demonstrates how women, through centuries of conditioning, have become both victims and perpetrators of their own oppression and how their cooperation with, and submission to, patriarchal dominance has been both conscious and unconscious. The authors begin by asking tough questions: How does patriarchy deform a woman's soul? How and why does a woman embrace patriarchy? What are the ramifications of female patriarchal behavior? Their conclusions are based on data gathered through hundreds of personal interviews with women in parish settings and small communities. Leading Catholic feminists were interviewed about their theories as to why women are co-opted by the patriarchal system. The experiences of grassroots sisters and other women were compared with, and used to either corroborate or refute, the assumptions and theories of leading American and Brazilian feminists. Women are formed to hang their heads. 531 $aFEMALE FACE IN PATRIARCHY 606 $aWomen in the Catholic Church$zUnited States 606 $aWomen in the Catholic Church$zBrazil 606 $aCatholic women$zUnited States$xInterviews 606 $aCatholic women$zBrazil$xInterviews 606 $aFeminist theology 606 $aWomen in the Catholic Church$xInterviews$zUnited States 606 $aWomen in the Catholic Church$xInterviews$zBrazil 606 $aCatholic women$zUnited States 606 $aCatholic women$zBrazil 606 $aFeminist theology 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aChristianity$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 608 $aInterviews.$2fast 615 0$aWomen in the Catholic Church 615 0$aWomen in the Catholic Church 615 0$aCatholic women$xInterviews. 615 0$aCatholic women$xInterviews. 615 0$aFeminist theology. 615 0$aWomen in the Catholic Church$xInterviews 615 0$aWomen in the Catholic Church$xInterviews 615 0$aCatholic women 615 0$aCatholic women 615 0$aFeminist theology 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aChristianity 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 676 $a282/.082 700 $aO'Connor$b Frances B$g(Frances Bernard)$01379344 701 $aDrury$b Becky S$01461167 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774708903321 996 $aThe female face in patriarchy$93664712 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
