The application of women's rights to the religions of the world
have prompted highly contentious debates. This volume explores the
many intricate issues raised in such interactions. The chapters in
this volume are authored by women scholars of religion from diverse
regions of the world, representing a plurality of religions,
including indigenous religions. To enrich this already complex
undertaking, four philosophers and legal scholars have also
contributed. Their chapters help to clarify present challenges and
envision innovative possibilities. The volume identifies archaic
attitudes involving exclusionary regulations and controversial
gender-specific practices. More contemporary impasses, such as
individualism, so prevalent in western rights debates, and the
unitary model of human rights, where "one size fits all," as
promulgated in the west, are also appraised. Current constructive
moves, especially expanding the notion of rights to involve
relationships, are acknowledged. A primary concern of this volume
is that of fostering future such collaborations of women advocates
of gender justice.
