With \u003ci\u003eSex and Secularism\u003c\/i\u003e, she challenges one of the central claims of the \"clash of civilizations\" polemic--that secularism guarantees gender equality. Drawing on a wealth of scholarship, Scott shows that the gender equality invoked today as an enduring principle was not originally associated with the term \"secularism\" when it first entered the nineteenth-century lexicon. In fact, the \u003ci\u003einequality\u003c\/i\u003e of the sexes was fundamental to the separation of church and state that inaugurated Western modernity. Scott reveals how the assertion that secularism has been synonymous with equality between the sexes has distracted our attention from difficulties related to gender difference--ones shared by Western and non-Western cultures alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Wallach Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691197229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691197227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Joan Wallach Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946959732991,"sku":"9780691197227","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_247d3308-777d-4178-9826-524774a9a37d.jpg?v=1681515911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-and-secularism-joan-wallach-scott-9780691197227","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
