I remember hearing her say in an interview some time ago that her research concerning feminists in the Church was sort of an accident. She 'stumbled' into the problem while researching nuns in general. Or maybe it was specifically the wiccan influence - I can't remember now. I did note her take on whether or not the title "heretic" was appropriate for them. She said something to the effect that these women were certainly not in schism and that heresy was not accurate either. She felt 'apostasy' best described them since they essentially attacked and threw out the entire core of Christian belief. The Blessed Trinity, the Divinity of Christ, etc.

And it's 30% off! Even at full price, this looks like a winner! Think I'll order a copy myself.

A compendium of true stories surrounding feminism gone bad, February 19, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from New York
What happens when women fighting for a voice in the Church turn away from the very things every Catholic holds to be true? Find out in this book! It may scandalize some people, but I'm afraid it's the truth. Donna Steichen has even said that radical feminists have tried to stop the circulation of this book but simply cannot because it's all documented! Steichen shows where radical feminism in the Church has taken us and it's not a pretty place. It truly is a collection of horror stories showing how things went awry. Recommended for anyone who wants to understand how things got to be so bad in women's religious communities and how true feminism in the Church was perverted.
