Louise Omer was a Pentecostal preacher and faithful wife. But when
her marriage crumbled, so did her beliefs. Haunted by questions
about what it means to be female in religion that worships a male
God, she left behind a church and home to ask women around the
world: how can we exist in a patriarchal religion? And can a woman
be holy? With less than GBP300 in her pocket and the conviction
that she was following a divine path, Louise began a pilgrimage
that has taken her to Mexican basilicas, Swedish cathedrals,
Bulgarian mountains, and Moroccan mosques. Holy woman combines
travel writing, feminist theology, and confessional memoir to
interrogate modern religion and give a raw and personal exploration
of spiritual life under patriarchy.
