What does it mean to be a religious conservative, particularly for
women, in America today? While it appears that people are returning
to conservative religion because they are fed up with the excesses
of liberalism, including feminism, a closer look at the lives of
religious conservatives reveals a more complex reality. Drawing on
two years of ethnographic research in Catholic, Jewish, and
Protestant communities, Christel Manning explores the diversity
among women who have returned to tradition. Arguing that America
has undergone profound cultural and economic changes in the last
thirty years, which create tension between women's lives and
traditional gender roles, she demonstrates that conservative
Catholics, Orthodox Jews, and Evangelical Protestants negotiate
those tensions in different ways. Manning also shows that women in
conservative religious communities share many of the same concerns
as secular women.Manning looks at how the religious communities
profiled have been influenced by feminist values and describes the
ways in which these women negotiate gender roles at work, religious
services, and at home. She explains how they deal with the
inconsistencies created by their attempts to integrate feminist and
traditionalist norms. In highly accessible prose, Manning examines
their attitudes towards the feminist movement, its impact on
American culture, and the extent to which the women seek to resist
it. God Gave Us the Right explains how these different views of
feminism reflect the diverse theologies and historical experiences
of the three communities.
