Using a critical feminist lens, this text explores the roles and interactions of women within major world faiths. For each tradition, the text examines the history and status of women, family structures, sexuality, and social change, as well as texts, rituals, and interpretations by and for women.
Excellent, cutting-edge scholarship, compellingly written and made accessible to undergraduates. . . . This is a top-notch book." * Michele Murray, Bishop's University *
Extremely readable. . . . An excellent introduction to the topic. . . . The chapters do a very good job introducing students to the religious tradition in question, and the structure of each chapter, despite the different authors, helps the student of comparative religion to analyze the information." * Ariana Patey, Memorial University of Newfoundland *
