The Church and the Second Sex
(1968; reissued with an "Autobiographical Preface to the 1975 Edition" and a "Feminist Postchristian Introduction," 1975; reissued with "New Archaic Afterwords," Boston: Beacon Press, 1985).

This powerful book was Mary Daly's first analysis of women and religion. In its original edition (1968) the book was a searing expose of Christian misogyny--especially within the Catholic Church. Reissued with her 1985 New Archaic Afterwords, as well as her brilliant 1975 Autobiographical Preface and Feminist Postchristian Introduction, The Church and the Second Sex, now more than ever, represents one of the most important critiques of sexism in the Christian tradition.

Beyond God the Father: Toward a Philosophy of Women's Liberation
(1973: reissued with an "Original Reintroduction by the Author," Boston: Beacon Press, 1985).

"I believe Mary Daly has struck the main nerve of the woman's movement . . . There is a crying need of women for identification with any sort of embodiment of the First Cause, the Female Principle, and Daly's book, Beyond God the Father, will be a landmark in that great event which she so perceptively characterizes as the second coming--of women."
Elizabeth Gould Davis, author of The First Sex

Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism
(1978; reissued with "New Intergalactic Introduction by the Author," Boston: Beacon Press, 1990).

Gyn/Ecology is a great leap forward in feminist theory. ... It defines simplistic categorizations of political theory, philosophy of religion, or even poetry. The book is all of these yet none, because it goes beyond them.
Janice Raymond, New Women's Times Feminist Review

Pure Lust: Elemental Feminist Philosophy
(Boston: Beacon Press 1984; San Francisco HarperSanFrancisco, 1992).

Rich in ideas, imagery, and Daly's characteristic wordplay, Pure List not only explores and analyzes the patriarchy's abuse of lust ... but [affirms] feminist 'life-lust' and vision. This is a witty, original work -- and one which is A-mazing Elemental Daly.

Websters' First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language Conjured in Cahoots with Jane Caputi.
(Boston: Beacon Press, 1987; San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1993).

This brilliant, wild, and humor-filled Web-Work of words frees the English language from its patriarchal and confining patterns by Weaving a fascinating, feminist, linguistic revolution.

Outercourse: The Be-Dazzling Voyage
Containing Recollections from My Logbook of a Radical Feminist Philosopher (Be-ing an Account of My Time/Space Travels and Ideas--Then, Again, Now, and How) (San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1992).

This extraordinary book--the resplendent philosophical autobiography of the world's foremost Radical Feminist philosopher--offers an imaginative chronicle of Momentous Moments in Mary Daly's A-mazing Voyage.

Quintessence... Realizing the Archiac Future: A Radical Elemental Feminist Manifesto
(Boston: Beacon Press, October, 1998).

Quintessence...Realizing the Archaic Future, in Daly's words, "is a challenge hurled Out to Daring women everywhere, aywhere, who are struggling to break free of the cages and prisons of patriarchal deadspace. Its purpose is to en-Courage us all to Spiral on. It is a Passionate invitation to whirl into the work of expanding our Magnetic Courage, reclaiming our own Space, reconnecting with ourSelves."

Amazon Grace: Re-Calling the Courage to Sin Big
(New York: Palgrave Macmillan, January, 2006).

"I want all of us to read Mary Daly's latest book, sooner rather than later, and to read it aloud. Here's why:

"1. Amazon Grace transmits energy at bolt-of-lightning levels, even more so when the sound of the words intensifies their meaning.
2. Amazon Grace exposes made-in-the-USA fascism with such fierceness that reviewers in the homeland of homeland security have been leery of touching it. I think it's our political responsibility to not let this book be buried.
3. Amazon Grace sums up and takes off from a lifetime of the author's philosophical work, work that is both solid and wide-ranging. Amazon Grace begins by announcing itself as "a challenge and an invitation hurled out to Daring, Desperate Women everywhere" – and it is – but the interweaving of idea, fact, metaphor, and story in Amazon Grace can prove central and illuminating for anyone desiring that life continue on earth."
