The book seeks to rekindle the criticism of religion as the founding ideology of patriarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFocusing on the three monotheistic religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam, this book examines common anti-women attitudes such as 'male-headship', impurity of women, the need to control women's bodies, and their modern manifestations in multicultural Western states. It points to the incorporation of religious law into legal systems, faith schools, and campaigns led by Christian and Islamic organisations against women's rights at the U.N., and explains how religious rights threaten to subvert women's rights. Including highly-topical chapters on the burka and the covering of women, and polygamy, this text questions the ideology of multiculturalism which shields religion from criticism by demanding respect for culture and faith, whilst ignoring the harm that women suffer from religion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMan's Dominion\u003c\/em\u003e is an incisive and polemic text that will be of interest to students of gender studies, religion, and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila Jeffreys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415596742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415596749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Sheila Jeffreys","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927743582463,"sku":"9780415596749","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3c34c3e-6492-4dfb-a2cb-f1e4a2a54179.jpg?v=1749372826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mans-dominion-sheila-jeffreys-9780415596749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
