Explore feminine spirituality from the beginning of recorded history to the present day through the works of 23 extraordinary women.

These extraordinary women have expressed their experiences of the agony and ecstasy of pursuing spiritual enlightenment through their poetry and prose, which is beautiful, inspirational and very moving.

In this completely revised and updated edition of Women of Wisdom, Paula Marvelly has selected powerful and evocative words from an array of female voices of widely differing ages, faiths and ethnicities—Jewish, Christian, Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Platonic—revealing the common and overriding theme between them, which can be expressed as "non-duality", the experience of losing one's individuality and becoming one with the universe. 
The audiobook is narrated by award-winning British actor, Polly Lee.
