"Mary Daly is the first modern feminist philosopher. She has
written a brave, visionary, unforgettable book. I wish every woman
would read it so that the bright prism of this sister's mind could
shimmer for them, as it did, in this volume, for me." – Robin
Morgan
"I believe Mary Daly has struck the main nerve of the woman's
movement ... There is a crying need of women for identification
with any sort of embodiment of the First Cause, The Female
Principle and Daly's book, Beyond God the Father, will be
a landmark in that great event which she so perceptively
categorizes as the 'second coming – of women'" – Elizabeth Gould
Davis, author of The First Sex
