Back 
When we look at the world's major religions such as Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism, we realize that despite the outward differences, their belief systems, dogmas, institutes and structures often entail the control and subjugation of women. Yet women are not deterred, some of them remain firmly religious, and made important contributions to their religions. What draws women to religion? In there a gender difference when it comes to faith? How do we negotiate gender and the often phallocentric religions? We have invited female believers, gender studies scholars, feminists, and queer theologians to share with us their experience of faith, and explore the social and gender implications of religion.
