Product Description
Women and Religious Traditions analyzes the roles of women in the world's religions from historical, textual, political, psychological, and contemporary perspectives. It begins with an introduction to feminist theory and issues in the study of religion, followed by individual chapters devoted to each of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Chinese Religions, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Native Traditions, and New Age Religions. Organized by themes such as history, texts, symbols, sexuality, and social change, the new second edition examines how religious mythology and patriarchy have shaped the social and private lives of women throughout history.

A Feminist's Guide to learning the essentials September 16, 2008
Harvey Beardman (Springfield, MO USA)
This book was purchased as a textbook for my Women in Religion class. It is a very feministic book, as the title may suggest. However, it does go into a lot of history of Women in various religions and their roles within them.
