Women and Religious Traditions

Women and Religious Traditions uses a critical feminist lens to explore the roles and interactions of women with major world faith traditions. Within each particular tradition; the text examines the history and status of women; family structures; sexuality; and social change; as well as texts; rituals; and interpretations by and for women.Thirteen experts contribute nine chapters and five case studies; including a new case study on women in Chinese traditions. This third edition builds on the strengths of the first two; with the addition of lived religion content in each chapter; an expanded introduction to the study of women and religion; new research on Buddhist nuns; and up-to-date material on women's current political position in Islamic countries.
