Faith, Feminism and the Power of Love

Shareen Gokal

Development, 2006, vol. 49, issue 1, 81-83

Abstract: Shareen Gokal reports on one session at the AWID Forum on faith and feminism. Along with 250 other women she asks whether being a feminist or having feminist values was not in contradiction with faith, or practice of one's faith. She asks whether the challenge and contradiction is in how religion has been taken up by the powers to be and been masculinized throughout history. She pinpoints the strong tension around whether it is possible or necessary to reconcile organized religion and feminism. Development (2006) 49, 81–83. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100225
