 Summer Books: Survey of current scholarship with diversity on the agenda
It is not a showcase for Clifford’s own thought; rather, it is a survey of current scholarship in feminist theology that functions both as an introductory text and as an overview of the “state of the question.”
Clifford apologizes for the placement of various perspectives from non-Euro-American women at the end of each chapter (e.g., “A South Korean Woman’s Perspective on God,” “African-American Women and Their Churches,” “Mary in Latin American Feminist Spirituality”), explaining that this simply reflects her decision to treat feminist theology in a historical fashion.
Readers will be grateful to Anne Clifford for bringing to such generous fruition the work of her happy engagement with feminist theology.

By claiming throughout the poem that the Clifford women are vessels in which grace and virtue are housed, Lanyer casts her patrons as houses themselves, thus fulfilling a model of the Protestant inner life, which is by nature completely their own.
