Religious feminism is a movement that seeks to address and reform the roles of women within various religious traditions. It emphasizes the importance of gender equality and advocates for women's rights in religious practices, interpretations, and leadership. This movement often critiques patriarchal structures that have historically marginalized women in religious contexts. Many religious feminists work to reinterpret sacred texts and traditions, highlighting the contributions of women in religious history. They aim to create inclusive spaces where women can fully participate in spiritual life, drawing on the teachings of figures like Mary Daly and Rosemary Radford Ruether to promote a more equitable understanding of faith.
