Web Browsing on Women & Religion
Beliefnet.com has extensive resources about
religion and spirituality in the United States,
including many associated with public life. This
Web site has a section on women that includes
writing and resources on women’s roles, issues
and spirituality. Because Beliefnet has no
ideological approach to its material, it contains
a wide variety of resources, some supporting
women’s empowerment in religion, and some
much more conservative.
