Summary

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.

Volume IV includes the following contributions: Our Mother Rachel by Susan Starr Sered; Mapuche Women's Empowerment as Shaman--Healers (Machis) in Chile by Ana Mariella Bacigalupo; The Secret Writing of Chinese Women: Religious Practice and Beliefs by Lee Rainey; and The Sea Goddess and the Goddess of Democracy by Vivian-Lee Nyitray.
