Women in Praise of the Sacred

“Hirshfield’s current collection brings together . . . an astonishing array of women writers from the 22nd century BC poet Enheduanna to Nelly Sachs and Anna Akhmatova.”— Library Journal

“Destined to become a classic. . . . An anthology of women’s spirituality on this scale has never been attempted before and I cannot imagine it being better done.” — Andrew Harvey
