Women's Rites of Passage grew out of Abigail Brenner s desire to answer some fundamental questions about the role of rites of passage in contemporary women s lives. Relying on a research study involving over 50 women, Brenner shows how women today understand the need to take responsibility for their lives and for directing their own paths, and are beginning to do so by creating their own very personal rites of passage.

Nine Passages reveals, through ceremonies for women and girls, how the evolving crossroads of life may meet a Soul's longing and a woman's spiritual needs . As change comes through each human being, shaped as much by seasons and winds as by events and relations, Rites of Passage ceremonies are a human right, rituals to claim maturity and inspiration to dream a new dream. In Nine Passages for Women and Girls, author Gail Burkett uses her mentor/teacher voice, gently guiding you to uncover your gifts and find ways to offer those gifts back to the Earth and her peoples. Girls becoming women and women remember our girl-selves, both seek to explore the shine of individuality and feel belonging. Women need to be seen; all of the ceremonies for Rites of Passage follow concentric rings of relationship from a small group, to a larger Circle, nestled inside of a Village. Eventually the whole community needs to be seen through these ceremonies for Rites of Passage to become a powerful change agent in our lives. Nine Passages for Women and Girls is an uplifting and guided journey through life. From Birth to Death, environments and events shape us but the question lingers, is this who we are born to be? Ceremonies and Stories of Transformation as the second half of each Passage, describing how women and girls have used ceremony to find the compass of their true selves.

This volume draws together ethnographies of female initiation rites in Melanesia which require anthropologists to rethink their analysis of initiations and their perceptions of gender. The contributors argue that female initiation rites express more than cultural notions of femininity, narrow definitions of reproduction, or coming of age rituals - instead they play an important role in other life cycle rituals and in the political and economic organization of society.

Ritual Making Women looks at the way in which women's making of ritual has emerged from the rapidly developing field of women's spirituality and theology. The author uses ethnographic material to explore how the construction of ritual uses story-making and embodied action to empower women. Ritual, far from being a timeless and universal practice, is shown to be a contextual and gendered performance in which women subvert conventional distinctions of private and public. The book combines narrative and case study material and draws on feminist theology and theory, social anthropology and gender studies.

This volume brings a variety of new approaches and contexts to modern and contemporary women’s writing. Contributors include both new and well-established scholars from Europe, Australia, the USA, and the Caribbean. Their essays draw on, adapt, and challenge anthropological perspectives on rites of passage derived from the work of Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner. Collectively, the essays suggest that women’s writing and women’s experiences from diverse cultures go beyond any straightforward notion of a threefold structure of separation, transition, and incorporation. Some essays include discussion of traditional rites of passage such as birth, motherhood, marriage, death, and bereavement; others are interested in exploring less traditional, more fluid, and/or problematic rites such as abortion, living with HIV/AIDS, and coming into political consciousness. Contributors seek ways of linking writing on rites of passage to feminist, postcolonial, and psychoanalytic theories which foreground margins, borders, and the outsider. The three opening essays explore the work of the Zimbabwean writer Yvonne Vera, whose groundbreaking work explored taboo subjects such as infanticide and incest. A wide range of other essays focus on writers from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe, including Jean Rhys, Bharati Mukherjee, Arundhati Roy, Jean Arasanayagam, Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl, and Eva Sallis. Rites of Passage in Postcolonial Women’s Writing will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of postcolonial and modern and contemporary women’s writing, and to students on literature and women’s studies courses who want to study women’s writing from a cross-cultural perspective and from different theoretical positions.
