Gender in law, culture and society
Summary note
"With contributions from some of the most prominent voices writing on gender, law, and religion today, this book illuminates some of the conflicts at the intersection of feminism, theology, and law. It examines a range of themes from the viewpoint of identificable traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, from a theoretical and practical perspective. Among the themes discussed are the cross-over between religious and secular values and assumptions in the search for a just jurisprudence for women, the application of theological insights from religious traditions to legal issues at the core of feminist work, feminist legal readings of scriptural texts on women's rights, and the place that religious law has assigned to women in ecclesiastic life."--Back cover.
