First sentence: This volume on religion, feminism, and the family is one of a series of books sponsored by the Religion, Culture, and Family Project, which is funded by the Lilly Endowment through an interdisciplinary committee associated with The University of Chicago Divinity School.
Description: Despite the tension between some proponents of feminism and organized religion, particularly in regard to family life, little has been written to view religion, feminism, and the family simultaneously. Drawing on history, theology, and the social sciences, the contributors to this volume analyze the impact of feminism on the experience of family life in its religious dimension.

Religion, Feminism, and the Family is designed to stimulate discussion on both the contemporary women's movement and the future of the American family.
