from back cover: "An Asian Christian woman's personal encounter with God is too often denounced as heretical or hysterical. If the first, she is (figuratively) burnt at the stake. If the second, people hasten to find her a husband. Henriette Marianne Katoppo, a prize winning novelist, journalist and theologian from Tomohon, Indonesia, has escaped both fates so far. In this outspoken book she explains why Asian Christian women like herself seek the right to be different, to be the Other, rather than having to accept identities borrowed from men and other cultures. Sometimes angrily, often personally and always persuasively, Marianne Katoppo argues her case by anchoring it in the day-to-day detail of her Indonesian experience. The writer is a graduate from the Jakarta Theological Seminary and has been active in the Indonesian Student Christian Movement.
