P. Snyder, Pope John Paul II's feminism: The nature and vocation of women in Western society - At odds with corporal determinism, STUD RELIG, 29(3), 2000, pp. 313-324
After reading all the texts published by John Paul II that directly concern
the nature and vocation of women, it becomes evident that he makes a harsh
critique of Western forms of feminism. It seems important, therefore, to e
xplore briefly the Pope's understanding of this social movement, especially
his reasons for placing himself at odds with it.
