In the West, women are abandoning traditional religion. Yet they continue to make up the majority of religious adherents. Accounting for this seeming paradox is the focus of this volume. If women undergird the foundations of religion but are leaving in large numbers, why are they leaving? Where are they going? What are they doing? And what's happening to those who remain? This book addresses a neglected yet crucial issue within the debate on religious belonging and departure: the role of women in and out of religion and spirituality. B. |
