Carol Lee Flinders received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature
from the University of California at Berkeley, specializing in
medieval studies. She then spent fifteen years writing about
natural foods, co-authoring the popular Laurel's Kitchen
cookbooks, and writing a weekly syndicated newspaper column.
In 1990 Carol returned to her field of study and wrote
Enduring Grace: Living Portraits of Seven Women
Mystics. Subsequent books include At the Root of This
Longing: Reconciling a Spiritual Hunger and a Feminist
Thirst and Rebalancing the World. . She
has taught courses in mystical literature at UC, Berkeley, and
at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. She is currently
a Fellow of the Spirituality and Health Institute, Santa Clara
University. She will be teaching a graduate seminar this fall at
the Sophia Center at Holy Names University in Oakland.
Carol's latest book is Enduring Lives: Living Portraits
of Women and Faith in Action (Putnam/Tarcher). It profiles
four contemporary women that she believes live and work in the
"spiritual mother-line" of women like Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint Catherine of Genoa.
