Fundamentalism Christian fundamentalism: patriarchy, sexuality, and human rights What is your tribe?: women's struggles and the construction on Muslimness The personal is political: Jewish fundamentalism and women's empowerment Relativism, culture, religion, and identity Cultural relativism and international law Gender apartheid and the discourse of relativity of rights in Muslim societies Different but free: cultural relativism and women's rights as human rights Safeguarding women's political freedoms under the international Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in the face of religious fundamentalism Religious reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women: what do they really mean? Women's equal right to freedom of religion or belief: an important but neglected subject The potential of international law to combat discrimination against girls in education The two faces of secularism and women's rights in India Religion and patriarchal politics: the Israeli experience Family disputes involving Muslim women in contemporary Europe: immigrant women caught between Islamic family law and women's rights Finding out feet, standing our ground: reproductive health activism in an era of rising fundamentalism and economic globalization Roman Catholic fundamentalism: what's sex (and power) got to do with it? Reconciling the opposites: equal but subordinate Buddhism and human rights in the Thai sex trade John Stratton Hawley -- Susan D. Rose -- Marie-Aimee Helie-Lucas -- Nira Yuval-Davis -- Michael Singer -- Christine Chinkin -- Mahnaz Afkhami -- Radhika Coomaraswamy -- Courtney W. Howland -- Ann Elizabeth Mayer -- Bahia G. Tahzib-Lie -- Geraldine Van Bueren and Deirdre Fottrell -- Ratna Kapur -- Frances Raday -- Marie-Claire S.F.G. Foblets -- Lynn P. Freedman -- Frances Kissling -- Asma M. Abdel Halim -- Lucinda Joy Peach Women educating women in the Afghan diaspora: why and how Challenging Christian fundamentalism: organizing an alternative to the religious right in your state Gender-based asylum in the United States: a view from the trenches Tales of subversion: women challenging fundamentalism in the Islamic Republic of Iran A feminist perspective on Jewish fundamentalism Truth over convention: feminist interpretations of Buddhism Religion and women's rights: the fundamentalist face of Catholicism in Brazil Reclaiming the religious center from a Muslim perspective: theological alternatives to religious fundamentalism Sakena Yacoobi -- Cecile Richards -- Paul Nejelski -- Azar Nafisi -- Paula E. Hyman -- Suwanna Satha-Anand -- Maria Jose F. Rosado Nunes -- Ghazala Anwar.
"Dialogue on the conflict between religious fundamentalism and women's rights is often stymied by an "all or nothing" approach: fundamentalists claim absolute religious freedom, while some feminists dismiss religion entirely as being so imbued with patriarchy as to be eternally opposed to women's rights. This ignores, though, the experiences of religious women who suffer under fundamentalism and fight to resist it, perceiving themselves to be at once religious and feminist. In Religious Fundamentalisms and the Human Rights of Women, Howland provides a forum for these different scholars, both religious and nonreligious, to meet and seek common ground in their fight against fundamentalism."--Jacket.
