When did patriarchy start and why? What explanation did the major
world religions offer for womens inferiority? How have their
beliefs and scriptures influenced womens lives in different parts
of the world where they are the dominant faith? Gender and Religion
2nd Edition investigates the statement that the major world
religions consider women to be inferior to men by reviewing the
religious tracts and laws relating to women. Presenting the
socio-political context in which these ideas developed, Barbara
Crandall reveals that none of them invented the concept, but
accepted it as the custom of human society where and when each
began.Using material on the history of patriarchy and up-to-date
discussions of womens achievements, the book explores the way
gender issues are addressed in the various sacred texts impacting
upon womens education, employment, property and inheritance rights,
franchise and participation in government, marriages, rights to
their children, practice of religion, and control of their own
bodies.
