Abstract (AB):
This article reviews the commonalities between the women's spirituality and women's health movements and how clinicians would be better positioned to foster the health of women more fully if they understood in greater depth the commonalities between these two perspectives. It briefly describes the concepts of feminism, religion, spirituality, and women's health, and then identifies some assumptions, themes, and characteristics of both women's spirituality and women's health. The processes critical to women's spirituality and women's health are also proposed and the implications for clinical practice are offered.
