Mary Daly

Mary Daly, a pioneering and influential American thinker, left an indelible mark on the realms of philosophy and theology, particularly in the context of radical feminism. A self-proclaimed "radical lesbian feminist", Daly's academic tenure spanned an impressive 33 years at Boston College, a Jesuit-run institution. Initially, she was a practicing Roman Catholic, but her intellectual and ideological evolution led her to renounce Christianity by the early 1970s.
