Gender and Religion

The major religions labelled women as inferior to men. Despite scientific evidence to the contrary, these myths persist and are said to be supported by scriptures which we are told cannot be amended. This has impeded the progress of women and maintained their dependency. Curtailment of religious control was not achieved until secular governments were established in the last one to two centuries. Further progress for women is dependent on equality in all areas of government .Crandall, Barbara is the author of 'Gender and Religion ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781419633492 and ISBN 141963349X.
