Leading women scholars address their own traditions as they explore
seven world religions in this unprecedented feminist treatment.
This collection of essays by internationally renowned women
scholars both contests the notion of fundamentalism and attempts to
find places where it might convege with women's roles in the
various world's religions. The essayists explore fundamentalism as
a system or method of limiting women's religious roles and examine
the ways that women embrace certain aspects of fundamentalism. The
essays cover Hinduism, Buddhism, Confuciansim, Islam, Judaism, and
Christianity. The contributors investigate the ways that women
"fight back" against fundamentalist conceptions of family, gender
roles, doctrinal practices, ritual practices, and God or theistic
constructs. The writers reassert and preserve their identities by
challenging the static categories of fundamentalism. The essays
contain deep and powerful explorations of the intersections of
culture, religion, and feminism.
