Reminiscences of Rosemary Radford Ruether

Abstract

I came to know Rosemary Radford Ruether in our later teaching and writing careers. She taught theology for some years at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California, while I was teaching biblical studies at San Francisco Theological Seminary, and later we shared 10 retirement years at Pilgrim Place in Claremont. Rather than speaking in general about her impact on me and on feminist theology in our generation, I want to share three stories of my experiences of her to show you something of her character, priorities, and accomplishments.
