Yin and the Devil's Gateway : A Comparative Assessment of Women's Experience in some Major World Religions.
This paper will be argued that religions cannot be separated from the cultural and ideological contexts that foster their creation. From this perspective, with any reference to a saving transcendent experience removed from the argument, it will be shown how the experience of women within the patriarchal structures of most religious systems has been more tragic than comic in its denial of the potential of half the human species to fully contribute to our understanding of what it means to be human. 10 pgs. 19 f/c. 6b.
