Amazon Grace: Re-Calling the Courage to Sin Big
In her signature style, revolutionary Mary Daly takes you on a Quantum leap into a joyous future of victory for women. Daly, the groundbreaking author of such classics as Beyond God the Father and The Church and the Second Sex , explores the visions of Matilda Joslyn Gage, the great nineteenth-century philosopher, and reveals that her insights are stunningly helpful to twenty-first-century Voyagers seeking to overcome the fascism and life-hating fundamentalism that has infused current power structures. Daly shows us once again that Wild, Wise Women can learn to take charge of the current destructive patriarchal forces and use this as an Outlandish opportunity for change.

I could not get with her writing style at all. It appears to be much less organized than her Gynecology for example.
Either she wrote this on a drug trip or she needs to be reacquainted with a dictionary. Needlessly capitalizing random words and hyphenating them at will, e.g. Be-ing, A-mazing Amazons, Space-Craft, is just irritating, but that could be forgiven if it was possible to access the meaning behind these words.
You could call it "deep". Or you could take a less word-confetti approach and realize that there are a few hundred pages of failure to communicate in your hands.

Mary Daly completes a journey in Amazon Grace that began with her milestone study Beyond God the Father. She remains militant and bold, and allows no quarter to a Christianity rooted in the Jesus of Scripture. She is out to change all. And in doing so she reveals to moderate or evangelical feminists how far afield they are to believe Galatians 3:28 is egalitarian or feminist-friendly.
