Synopsis

A male and female pair of McGill U. professors of religion, who co- edit , introduce personal cum analytical examinations by eight women scholars on the ways that major religionsfrom Buddhism to Wiccahave embraced and excluded women. For example, one contributor found that while Judaism helped frame her grief over her father's death, it excluded her from saying the traditional prayer for the dead.
