The Resource Kidd, Sue Monk

Description: Women's issues and spiritual consciousness infuse the nonfiction and novels of Sue Monk Kidd. Friendships between women and violent side of patriarchy inform her works, though hers is a gentle feminism that celebrates the strengths of women without unfairly criticizing the faults of men. Kidd's works offer spiritual (but not dogmatic) lessons about the healing power of women's relationships. Her characters are richly developed, and her historical and contemporary settings are lyrically described. The stories derive their strength from the characters' internal epiphanies and from the contemplative, evocative prose. Start with: Dance of the Dissident Daughter (nonfiction); The Secret Life of Bees (fiction)
