Feminist Theology: Daly's Post-Christian Critique
Mary Daly critiques Christianity as inherently patriarchal; the tradition cannot be reformed but must be transcended. She advocates moving beyond Christianity toward post-Christian feminism.
Real World
Mary Daly resigned from her tenured position at Boston College in 1999 after refusing to admit male students to her feminist theology classes — a biographical act that embodied her conviction that patriarchal institutions are unreformable from within.
Exam Focus
Contrast Daly's post-Christian rejection with reformist feminists like Ruether; 'evaluate' questions expect you to weigh both positions against each other.
