2,250 words (approx. 9 pages) | 5 sources | 2005 United States


Paper Summary:

This essay reviews how five anthropologists examine the role of women in religion and ritual in settings ranging from Ireland and Iran, to Somalia, Melanesia and Belgium.

From the Paper:

"In the early 21st century, when Western secularism is challenged by religious revivals in the form of Protestant evangelicalism in the United States and Islamic traditionalism and/or fundamentalism around the world, the topic of religion and ritual has become one of clear significance to anthropologists. Given the range of complexity of religious traditions and experiences, one of the most interesting avenues of access to understanding religion in a comparative anthropological analysis is through exploring the roles of women in different religions."
