In Her Own Rite: Constructing Feminist Liturgical Tradition

In Her Own Rite: Constructing Feminist Liturgical Tradition" by Marjorie Procter-Smith is a seminal work that explores the intersection of feminist theory and liturgical studies. Published in 1990, the book delves into the opportunities for dialogue between these two fields, addressing liturgical fundamentals through an exploration of language—verbal, physical, and visual—God-talk, preaching, and the role of the congregation. Procter-Smith emphasizes the benefits and necessity of this interdisciplinary conversation, grounding readers in liturgical basics while advocating for a feminist reconstruction of worship practices.
