Breaking Through: Catholic Women Speak for Themselves

" Many women... are finding intellectually and spirituality satisfying answers within the framework of their Catholic faith.

Nine such Catholic women- varying widely in age, occupation, and experience- share personal stories of how they struggled toward the realization that the demands of their faith actually set them free. Their stories- full of honesty, but ultimately hope- shed new light and new clarity on women's continued attraction to the Catholic faith.

Topics include:

• Navigating dating and sexpectations
• Feminism, freedom, and contraception
• Children versus a "better me"
• Being Catholic in light of the sexual abuse scandal
• Faith, psychology, and same-sex attraction"
