    “Certainly one of the most promising theological statements of our time.” -The Christian Century

    “Not for the timid, this brilliant book calls for nothing short of the overthrow of patriarchy itself.” -The Village Voice

    "Mary Daly is the first modern feminist philosopher. She has written a brave, visionary, unforgettable book. I wish every woman would read it so that the bright prism of this sister's mind could shimmer for them, as it did, in this volume, for me." – Robin Morgan

    "I believe Mary Daly has struck the main nerve of the woman's movement ... There is a crying need of women for identification with any sort of embodiment of the First Cause, The Female Principle and Daly's book, Beyond God the Father, will be a landmark in that great event which she so perceptively categorizes as the 'second coming – of women'" – Elizabeth Gould Davis, author of The First Sex
