    Abstract

    This article discusses some of feminist theory's most prominent scholars of religion, addresses the shortcomings of feminism, and advocates for a women's spirituality that is more deeply integral while also seeking to ensure that the history of feminist religious theory is included in integral religious discourse. While feminist theologians reacted to issues of male dominant symbolism in religion by creating a strategic dualism that places the Goddess on top, I utilize adult developmental studies in order to propose the creation of a uniquely female archetype of the Self for women.
