what women on the margins teach us about wisdom, persistence, and strength

"Combining personal storytelling with biblical reflection, a Cuban American writer tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians-mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters-whose survival, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love"--, Provided by publisherArmas grew up on the outskirts of Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, and her earliest theological formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Cuba during the height of political unrest. Here she shows us how voices on the margins-- those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education-- have more to teach us about following God than we realize. She introduces us to unnamed and overlooked theologians in society and in the Bible: mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love. -- adapted from Amazon info
