Women, Agency and Religion

This book explores how female agency is defined and exists on both Mediterranean shores. It focuses on the role of women believers in the processes of transformation of political contexts of the North African and Euro-Mediterranean area, and on the role of women within religions, questioning the latter's patriarchal traditions from inside.
