Religion and Sexism: Images of Women in the Jewish and Christian TraditionsThese essays attempt to fill a growing need for a more exact idea of the role of religion, specifically in the Judaeo Christian tradition, in shaping the traditional cultural images that have degraded and suppressed women. This book provides, in the compass of a single work, a glimpse of the history of the relationship of patriarchal religion to feminine imagery and to the actual psychic and social self images of women.
