Women's Ways of Worship seeks to reconstruct liturgical history from the perspective of women. Such a reconstruction demands women-specific interpretive strategies. This book narrates both past and present liturgical developments from the perspectives of women's lives, attending to such dynamics as the genderization of liturgical space, women-specific liturgical taboos, and, for the Women's Liturgical Movement, the emergence of feminist liturgies.

The richness of recent research on women's worship gives witness to the scholarly interest in its contemporary practice, reflection, and construction. On the other hand, feminist scholarship has had little impact on liturgical historiography. In Women's Ways of Worship Teresa Berger reconstructs liturgical history from the perspectives of women. She shows that the invisibility of women in the traditional liturgical narrative draws into question the credibility of that narrative, especially at a time when research into women's history has unearthed much material relevant to women's liturgical lives.
