Hackett -- Women in Shinto : images remembered / Michiko Yusa -- Women in Jainism / Nalini Balbir -- Outside the discipline, inside the experience : women in Zoroastrianism / Ketayun H. Gould -- Women in Sikhism / Rajkumari Shanker -- Women in the Baha'i faith / Susan S. Maneck.
This book discusses the position of women in the Native American, African, Shinto, Jaina, Zoroastrian, Sikh, and Baha'i faiths for the first time in a single volume, and evolves a conceptual framework within which their positions could be comprehensively considered. The contributing scholars provide an enlarged database for a more thorough discussion of the questions pertaining to women and religion in general, and simultaneously advance the theoretical frontiers in women's studies. Religion and Women belongs to a trilogy about women and world religions edited by Arvind Sharma the first and third volumes being respectively, Women in World Religions and Today's Woman in World Religions
