This book explores the ways in which changing views on gender and
the place of women in society during the latter half of the
twentieth century affected women's participation and standing
within British Paganism. More specifically, it examines how British
Wiccans and Wiccan-derived Pagans reacted to the rise of
'second-wave' feminism and the Women's Liberation Movement in the
UK - with a special emphasis on the reception of feminist theory
hailing from the USA - and to the emergence of feminist branches of
Witchcraft and Goddess Spirituality during the 1970s and 1980s. The
book draws on primary sources never before analyzed in an academic
context and makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of
knowledge on gender and religion during the twentieth century, as
very little research has been conducted on the relations between
the history of modern Paganism and that of second-wave feminism in
the UK.
