Rosemary Radford Ruether was a legendary Christian feminist. Her work in higher education, her voluminous writing, and especially her compassionate humanity changed countless lives and helped define the Christian feminist movement.
On May 21, 2022, her earthly work came to an end. Now it’s up to the rest of us to continue nurturing the growth of women’s equality and inclusion in Christianity.
It’s remarkable that most Christian feminists have a story about how something Rosemary did, said, or wrote influenced them. Few people have had a similar impact on an entire movement.
We know each of you will enjoy reading this tribute to Rosemary written by Dr. Mary E. Hunt for the National Catholic Reporter. We don’t think anyone could have better summed up all the different aspects of what Rosemary Radford Ruether gave to this world.
