Donna Schaper

Donna Schaper thinks of herself as a “Christian socialist feminist who has a bit of a right-wing streak.” A parish pastor in Riverhead, New York, she’s the author of Superwoman Turns Forty and Stripping Down: The Art of Spiritual Restoration, which uses the metaphor of refinishing a chair as a spiritual art.
