Mary Daly died on January 03

Dismissing the American academic, Mary Daly (16 October 1928 – 3 January 2010) is unfortunately easy. She was both a radical feminist and a lesbian separatist. Daly was right about the patriarchal underpinning of Christianity. The number of time I have heard Christians of both sex argue that women's oppression is somehow Biblical (and hence God ordained) has surprised me but would never surprise Daly. None pick the irony that the creation myths having men giving birth to women. She will never be countered as one of the great theologians but her contribution will affect how both feminists and Christians will think about gender.
