Summary: Sorry, but I found this book to be too inclusive & unhelpful
Comment: This work is so inclusive that it is inconclusive. The authorattempts to summarize various perspectives about women's anger fromChristian, Judaic, and Buddhist perspectives. The problem is that shedoesn't do justice to any of these faiths because she just picks andchooses the pieces of each belief system that agree with her veryfeminist perspective. She is particularly fond of Carol Gilligan'swork, so if you like Gilligan's works, you may also like this book.If you consider your own beliefs to be "new age," you willalso probably enjoy this book. However, if you are a practicingChristian, or Jew, or Buddhist, I suspect that you, like me, will notfind the work particularly insightful or helpful.

Summary: Anger as a gateway to inner self
Comment: This book should be required for every women with boundary issues, stifled rage, or even difficulty with confrontation. Teacher, therapist and theologian Kathleen Fischer looks at the various myths surrounding women and anger in Western, particularly religious, culture, and does an excellent job of deconstructing the myths, placing anger into context and suggesting methods for integrating and dealing with this inevitable facet of life.

Especially helpful was her section on forgiveness, in which she both warns readers as to the dangers of forgiving too soon, and shares the painful, but liberating journey toward resolution. The anecdotes she shares, either personal, or from women who have shared them with her, are very helpful and interesting. An excellent, reassuring and healing work, and one I am very glad is on my bookshelf.

Summary: Well Worth the Wait
Comment: I had awaited with anticipation the publication of Kathleen Fischer's latest book Transforming Fire because I knew if anyone could help me deal with the anger that is so much a part of my life as a woman and as a Catholic, she would be the one. And I was not disappointed. Bringing together in one book the best and latest there is to know about anger, she deftly discards old death-dealing ways of viewing anger and offers healthy, "holy" ways to use this anger for both personal growth and social concerns. I came away with quite a few good tidbits! Best of all, it was nice to hear a few of her own personal stories--they added a richness to the text.
