- As manifested during the Beijing conferences, tremendous diversity and heterogeneity exist in the cultural, religious, and civilizational components of each side of this gender-based division. The alliance in support of equal rights includes most South American, Western, African, and many Asian or Christian, Muslim, and other religions, cultures, or civilizations. The alliance against equal rights, too, ioncludes Christians and Muslims of various nations and civilizations. This book will explore three complex topics: how the Catholic and Muslim religions recognize women, Catholic and Muslim responses to the globalization of modernity, and the centrality of religion and spirituality to social change for women and women's agency in transforming religious ideas and instututions.
