PANEL: CHALLENGES FEMINISTS FACE IN DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS

Feminists often face challenges from people who lack a basic understanding of feminist ideas, rely on assumptions about feminism rather than facts, or are hostile to feminist thought. What happens when religious feminists confront these kinds of attitudes and challenges—not from outsiders—but from within the ranks of their own religious communities? Panelists will discuss their experiences with the challenges they’ve encountered in their feminist religious lives.
