If you've witnessed the preferential treatment of men in America's houses of worship, you will not be surprised to learn that there is a surge of women in this country rising up and demanding religious equality. More and more, religious women--Christian, Muslim, and Jewish--are declaring that they expect to be treated as equals in the religious sphere.

Rather than abandoning their faith, these women are taking it back and making it stronger, transforming religion while maintaining tradition. Leora Tanenbaum relates the experiences of Catholics, evangelical and mainline Protestants, Muslims, and observant Jews.
