Abstract
This article reviews Mary Daly's five books published between 1968 and 1987. Mary Daly is a key contributor to the feminist view of religion . The focus of this discussion is her intellectual trajectory that inc ludes critique and reconstruction of both psychology and religion. As she moves from reform to radical feminism and from Christianity to pos tchristian feminist spirituality, Daly increasingly views both psychol ogy and religion as aspects of oppressively patriarchal culture. Simul taneously, her own work includes psychological insights and envisions psychic integrity as a goal of the spiritual revolution of feminism. D aly's work sponsors a psychology of religion and dialogue between psyc hology and religion that opposes sexism.
