This forum discusses secularism, fundamentalism, feminism, and other contemporary trends impacting on women and religion.

This polymethodic, interdisciplinary, and multitraditional approach to the study of women and religion emphasizes the comparative dimension and establishes a dialogue between the humanities and the social sciences.
