The Nile on eBay   Feminism and Christian Ethics by Susan Frank Parsons

This book seeks to describe and analyse diversity by distinguishing three distinct paradigms of moral reasoning to be found within feminism. Using the writings of feminists themselves, the major strengths and weaknesses of each theory are considered, so that creative dialogue between them can be encouraged.
