This Humanities course explores feminine perspectives of religion and
spirituality in classical and indigenous religions today and
throughout history. The course will examine images of the divine,
mythological presentations, as well as roles and practices of women
in each tradition through the study of traditional writings,
feminist themes and feminist theologies. The course will focus on
several questions, among which are questions about what sacred
sources in traditional religions say about women and issues of
gender, and questions about how both men and women in society have
used oral and written sacred narratives. Lastly, the course will
familiarize students with contemporary women's work that criticizes,
affirms, or amends traditional religious views and roles about
women.
