5.0 out of 5 starsA Must-Read
By Hannah J on December 28, 2011
Format: Paperback
Courtney Howland organized an amazing conference on Religious Fundamentalisms and Women's Human Rights at George Washington University Law School in 1998. I discovered that she had produced this book based on the conference, and it is an amazing book.

That unforgettable conference was ahead of its time, and this book still feels totally up to date. The issues that it deals with are still completely current. Professor Howland has assembled an all-star cast of contributors, who come from many countries, every continent, and all the major religions of the world. It was a real achievement to bring all these very different people together in a single conference and then in a single book! Each of the contributors has a chapter in the book, and every one of them is worth reading and rereading. The way that Professor Howland has organized them into a unified presentation of the subject is masterful. Her thorough and scholarly Introduction explains clearly the perspectives of the different contributors and how they all relate to one another.

There is also a very interesting Foreword by the world-renowned Professor Thomas Buergenthal, who until recently was a Judge on the International Court of Justice and was previously the President of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

This is absolutely not an anti-religious book, but a unique book that brings religion and women's rights together. It is very supportive for religious women. This book is a must-have and a must-read for anyone, of any religion, who believes that the whole of the human race, not only the male half of it, has human rights including religious rights.

5.0 out of 5 starsPut this title on your 2012 reading list
By Kirsten Young on January 2, 2012
Format: Paperback
It was a pleasure to re-read Religious Fundamentalisms and the Human Rights of Women. The book has retained the freshness that it offered at the time of its publishing in 1999. The impressive collection of authors (28 in total) tackles a subject that law and policy makers continue to wrestle with, and often fail to do so in a meaningful way. The collection demystifies many of the arguments that we hear made to reject equality claims, whether framed in North or South terms, or on identity, cultural or theological grounds. The book's multi-disciplinary character is a model for those interested in advancing strategies designed to incorporate international human rights norms as a foundation for national policy and programming. A must-read in this dynamic period of social change.

5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating Book
By Jill C on January 3, 2012
Format: Paperback
Scholarly but not obscure; persuasive but not a polemic. An interesting book, written by scholars and women from various religious backgrounds, about an important subject that is too often hidden from public view.

1.0 out of 5 starsGood - so long as you don't think about it
By Caitriona Finegan on November 24, 2009
Format: Paperback
Less of an academic work than an ideological manifesto for adolescent and angry 'feminists'. Won't convince anyone who doesn't already subscribe fully to the homogonous tone. Will chase everyone else away, man, woman and child. One of the worst books/articles I have read on human rights and I've read some dross in my time. The cover isn't too bad though.
