An introduction to women's experience of religion.
In 1947 Dorothy L. Sayers wrote: ' Nobody could possibly guess from the words and deeds of Jesus that there was anything " funny " about women's nature. But we might easily deduce it from his contemporaries, and from his prophets before him, and from his church to this day.

Rosemary Hartill. Religious Affairs Correspondent, seeks to untangle some of the knots.
