This book aims to discuss some aspects of the relationship between social change, religion and women’s lives and self-definition in the contemporary world. Using international and interdisciplinary perspectives reflective of different religious traditions, this collection pays attention to the specific experiences and positions of women, or particular groups of women, to understand current patterns of religiosity and religious change. This book aims to fill existing gaps by adding new knowledge to the existing body of literature on academic research on the dynamic relationship between women and religion, and on the contemporary and future challenges posed by women’s changes to religion – in different parts of the world and among different religious traditions and practices.

Abstract
This book aims to discuss some aspects of the relationship between social change, religion and women’s lives and self-definition in the contemporary world. Using international and interdisciplinary perspectives reflective of different religious traditions, this collection pays attention to the specific experiences and positions of women, or particular groups of women, to understand current patterns of religiosity and religious change. This book aims to fill existing gaps by adding new knowledge to the existing body of literature on academic research on the dynamic relationship between women and religion, and on the contemporary and future challenges posed by women’s changes to religion – in different parts of the world and among different religious traditions and practices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
