This apostolic letter of Pope John Paul II, published on August 15, 1988, explores the role and value of women in the Church, the family, and society. Mulieris Dignitatem promotes a vision of complementarity, equality, and communion between man and woman and stresses the unique character of a woman's capacity to love. John Paul II also explains the physical and spiritual dimensions of marriage, virginity, and motherhood, and expresses the Church's reverence for women by celebrating the women of the Gospels, the witness of female saints, the significant contributions of Christian women in society, and the Blessed Virgin Mary as the archetype of woman and the "New Eve." This expanded 25th Anniversary Edition offers the complete text of Mulieris Dignitatem accompanied by thought-provoking commentary by Genevieve Kineke, who addressed the Vatican Congress that marked the 20th anniversary of the document in 2008. With her conversational style, Kineke makes the content of this papal document more accessible and offers contemporary insights that respond to the urgent questions raised in recent decades about the feminine vocation. This Anniversary Edition also features insightful questions, prayers, and ideas for meaningful action to engage individuals and groups.

About the Commentator:
Genevieve Kineke is a convert to the faith who was immediately drawn to the question of what it means to be a woman in the image and likeness of God. In 1992, she founded Canticle, a magazine dedicated to that question, which she edited for twelve years. In 2006, she wrote The Authentic Catholic Woman (Servant Books), followed by Set Free: The Authentic Catholic Woman's Guide to Forgiveness (Servant Books, 2012). She has spoken widely on the topic and was invited to address the Vatican Congress marking the 20th anniversary of Mulieris Dignitatem in 2008. She is married and the mother of five children.
"Saint John Paul II's landmark apostolic letter for women, Mulieris Dignatatem brought the feminine genius to our lexicon, beginning a quiet revolution of a new feminism characterized by an integration of gospel values. Twenty-five years later, this Anniversary Edition of Mulieris Dignatatem in the Year of Faith is the right occasion to reintroduce this document to the next generation. Genevieve Kineke's thoughtful commentary after each of the document's nine chapters offers readers a contemplative unpacking of the pontiff's words, plus guides for them to ponder, pray, and act. This is a marvelous keepsake book, as well as a learning tool."
