In Sue Monk Kidd's book, "The Dance of the Dissident Daughter," the author explores the concept of femininity and the divine. She suggests that the term "Goddess" is fundamentally an expression of the sacred in its female manifestation. This perspective invites readers to reframe their understanding of the divine by recognizing its feminine aspects.

Kidd emphasizes that labeling the divine as a "Goddess" serves as a reminder that spirituality is not confined to traditional, patriarchal views. By embracing the Goddess as a symbol, we can celebrate and honor the power and presence of the feminine in both religious and everyday life.
