Fundamentalists pose threat to women's rights movement.
Prospects for a successful transition between generations are good, but there are signs of trouble ahead. For example, fundamentalists have increasingly shown up at the Commission on the Status of Women meetings. With zeal and ardor, they are mobilizing campaigns among youth and are often at odds with the principles of gender equality. I have always tried to learn more about fundamentalist women's groups, reading books about women and Islam as well as the history of Catholicism. Nevertheless, I have missed a real-life appreciation of how it feels to grow up as a fundamentalist believer.
