Women and Civil Rights (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639048858)

The world is constantly changing, yet the past has an interesting way of repeating itself. What was true several hundred years ago is show-ing itself to be so again. Throughout history women have experienced oppression and marginalization. This disturbing reality persists as we enter the 21st century. Indeed, the reclamation of political power by religious authorities has reinforced the infringement of the civil liber-ties of women. Dr. Bassima Schbley brings both personal experience and academic expertise to bear on this challenging situation. Her insights in Women and Civil Rights not only apply to gender issues but also can be extra-polated to other abused and disadvantaged populations. This book offers a unique perspective, focusing on the experience of women as the line separating church and state starts to blur. This ground-breaking research is an indispensable resource for practitioners and agents of social and medical services, including social workers, psy-chologists, therapists, and counselors, as well as students in these fields.
