In an era which many now recognise as ‘post-secular’, the role
that religions play in shaping gender identities and relationships
has been awarded a renewed status in the study of societies and
social change. In both the Global South and the Global North, in
the 21st century, religiosity is of continuing significance, not
only in people’s private lives and in the family, but also in the
public sphere and with respect to political and legal systems. The
Routledge Handbook of Religion, Gender and Society is an
outstanding reference source to these key topics, problems and
debates in this exciting subject area. Comprising over 40 chapters
by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is divided
into 3 parts: Critical debates for religions, gender and society:
theories, concepts and methodologies Issues and themes in
religions, gender and society Contexts and locations Within these
sections, central issues, debates and problems are examined,
including activism, gender analysis, intersectionality and
feminism, oppression and liberation, equality, bodies and
embodiment, space and place, leadership and authority, diaspora and
migration, marriage and the family, generation and aging, health
and reproduction, education, violence and conflict, ecology and
climate change and the role of social media. The Routledge Handbook
of Religion, Gender and Society is essential reading for students
and researchers in religious studies and gender studies. The
Handbook will also be very useful for those in related fields, such
as cultural studies, area studies, politics, sociology,
anthropology and history.
