Rosemary Radford Ruether (2 November 1936 – 21 May 2022) was an American feminist scholar and Roman Catholic theologian known for her significant contributions to the fields of feminist theology and ecofeminist theology.^[1] Her teaching and her writings helped establish these areas of theology as distinct fields of study; she is recognized as one of the first scholars to bring women's perspectives on Christian theology into mainstream academic discourse.^[2]^[3] She was active in the civil rights movement in the 1960s,^[2] and her own work was influenced by liberation and black theologies.^[4] She taught at Howard University for ten years, and later at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.^[2] Over the course of her career, she wrote on a wide range of topics, including antisemitism, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, the intersection of feminism and Christianity, and the climate crisis.^[5]^[6]

Ruether was an advocate of women's ordination, a movement among Catholics who affirm women's capacity to serve as priests, despite official church prohibition.^[7] For decades, Ruether served as a board member and then a member emerita for the pro-choice group Catholics for Choice.^[8] Her public stance on these topics was criticized by some leaders in the Roman Catholic Church.
