Description
xAre YOU satisfied TODAY, with the position of women in the Church?
Buy this book and pick up the torch of Arlene's lifetime mission-to see, know and feel women as equals in the Church and in today's society. Her work was pivotal in validating both the rights of women in the church and beyond.
In the 1960s, Arlene stood amidst a small handful of women challenging the status quo on women's rights in the Church culture. And, when we say a small handful, we mean it. Joan of Arc would have been proud of Arlene Swidler. Arlene spoke to women's rights in the Church by creating the pathways and the language for women yet to be born to discuss and transform the Dialogue on Women's Rights.
Fighting fearlessly for women's rights and their position as influencers, Arlene took up the challenge of changing the rigidly narrow male church. Throughout this book and in her many articles, she wrote statements and inquiries women had never dared to say. Her words still serve us well today.
While the Catholic Church and others have changed, we still find legacies of sexism prevalent around us. Please carry on her vision. Arlene was dedicated to her vision. Altogether, she published 75 articles, 26 book reviews, 7 book translations of German to English, authored or edited 13 books, edited a magazine called "Word", and the "Journal of Ecumenical Studies" and taught at nine different universities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Most of her work centered on women's rights in the Church.
Introductions by Arlene's husband, Dr. Leonard Swidler and her sister-in-law Sandi Billingslea Swidler offer insight into the woman and her personal and academic background. Dr. Swidler and Arlene were the founders and publishers of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies in which many of her articles on women's rights in the Church appeared. She also regularly contributed, as did her husband, to the National Catholic Reporter and Commonweal, the premier American Catholic periodical on public affairs.
The early onslaught of Alzheimer's at age 63 cut short the positive impact and flow she brought to the cause of women rising in influence in the Church.
iPUB Global Connection has published many of Dr. Swidler's books including a series written for his granddaughter to help her understand the basics of world religions and their impact on humanity's grasp of the meaning of life. To learn more, see the "Letters to Will" book series and the Little Big Book Series.
One can see the impact of Arlene's values in all of Dr. Swidler's works. Her legacy continues through him, her children, and everyone she influenced.

By Leonard Swidler
xAs a part of the post-Vatican II, Arlene's work on women in the Catholic Church began in 1966. Her feminist ideas began in Catholicism, but they soon expanded to other religions as well. Most of her efforts were spent meeting and talking with people and editing. By the early 1990's, she had published more than eighty articles and book reviews, served as an editor of two different periodicals, and participated in editing and writing thirteen books, along with more than forty years of college/university teaching. She served as an English teacher, an occasional columnist for the National Catholic Reporter, and for four years as chairperson of the Committee on Liturgical and Ecumenical Affairs of the National Council of Catholic Women. She co-founded with her husband The Journal of Ecumenical Studies in 1964 and was the education editor for 25 years [PLEASE CONFIRM YEARS]. The journal is still published today. For subscription information go to www.dialogueinstitute.com. Arlene was a member of the Jewish-Catholic program committee of the Philadelphia archdiocese and she was an adjunct professor of religious studies at Villanova University. She compiled and edited the following published books: Women Priests: A Catholic Commentary on the Vatican Declaration, Human Rights in Religious Traditions, Women Priests in the Catholic Church? Mainstreaming Feminist Research for Teaching Religious Studies and Sistercelebrations: Nine Worship Experiences. Arlene suffered for 17 years before she died of Alzheimers in 2008. Her friends and family suffered along with her until the end. The pain of slowly losing someone to this disease is not describable. One day they are lucid and capable and the next, well, they are gone. This book and the series it launches were conceived as a tribute to Arlene and her lifelong work to help women gain status in the Catholic Church and in the world in general. Her marriage to Dr. Leonard Swidler, a professor of religion and a feminist and great thinker, and her motherhood to two daughters Eva and Carmel further fueled her convictions and actions.
