Her work was pivotal in validating both the rights of women in the church and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFighting 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroductions 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 \u003ci\u003eJournal of Ecumenical Studies\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eiPUB 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne 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. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Swidler,Sandi Billingslea Swidler,Arlene Swidler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948575019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948575010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ipub Global Connection, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Leonard Swidler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445958979839,"sku":"9781948575010","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c88097e9-f622-47a2-84ca-5003d3fac463.jpg?v=1777221741","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/woman-in-a-mans-church-leonard-swidler-9781948575010","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
