Have you wondered why women are treated as they are? Have you questioned why being woman in the world is not that easy? Don't be ashamed you haven't worked it out. The situation is complex. It's more tricky if you are travelling a spiritual journey. Equally, being a woman is complicated in religious settings. In her first year away from home, university student Faith meets her woman minister friend for coffee fortnightly. They discuss basic assumptions about women and men, the world, human beings and 'waking up.' They peer into scripture to excavate stories of a diversity of women, daughters, wives, prophets, breadwinners, victims and survivors, leaders and risk-takers. Between hot chocolates and hazelnut lattes, Faith and her soul-guide delve into misogyny and theology. They study women's leadership and ministry experiences. They laugh and cry, they rejoice and are angry, they think and dream. Through her coffeeshop conversations, Faith discovers the quiet sound of her own inner voice. She finds ways to recognise and nurture it. She thus begins the journey of knowing how to be woman in the world.
