A Feminist Ethic of Risk: Revised Edition
A Feminist Ethic of Risk proposes a
new model for ethics and new life
orientation for social justice. It directly
addresses American and European "middle-class despair" over issues
and challenges
seemingly too large to tackle, such as
environmental destruction or racism. Her
ethic uproots classical assumptions and
opens up the possibility of a strong
religious vision or "theology of resistance
and hope." This new edition includes a new
chapter that situates the feminist ethic of
risk in relation to other styles and options
in religious ethics today.

Endorsements
"A Feminist Ethic of Risk is not only a provocative and insightful book but also a very honest one, with an integrity that comes from the author's own experience as a white, middle-class woman who refuses to despair over defeats or escape into the luxury of the privileged. But most of all, it is a book of love and joy."
