1. Eileen Flanagan: Gender and Spiritual Writing

    A man who has written about and read spiritual books for decades… mentioned at the end of our hour-long conversation that most of the readers of his site and of spiritual books in general are women, yet most of the writers of such books are men. He was happy to help promote a female spiritual writer, pointing out a passage in my book about paying attention to our bodies and our dreams that he thought was a distinctly woman’s voice, though he immediately acknowledged men who have written about those topics, as well.
