Femmes et  religions, entre soumission et espace pour s’exprimer et agir, un regard d’historienne by Mathilde Dubesset

“…Yet, some women have managed to gain opportunities for expression and action, within the framework of organised religion or by way of their religious culture. Musician nuns in the Middle Ages,  lady missionaries, God adventurers,  mother superiors –with true power – of 19th century catholic congregations, protestant women involved in women’s emancipation movements of the early 1900’s and, closer to us, feminist theologians revisiting the Bible : so many situations, over the centuries, that may lead to qualify one’s critical view of religions’ role in “the misfortune of women”, even though paradoxes are a-plenty (in the catholic world for instance). …”

Good Work and Good Works: Work and the Postsecular in George Saunders’s CivilWarLand in Bad Decline by Brian Jansen, Hollie Adams

“…Saunders’s “Center for Wayward Nuns” is a potent metaphor in the sense that it suggests that doubt and lack of agency endemic to a fragmented postmodern world do not absolve us of our ethical responsibility, and thus the Christian overtones of Saunders’ work are engaged in a compelling kind of double-critique: both of the “un-Christian” social realities of the world in which Saunders’ working poor toil, but also of the kind of extremist, fundamentalist—even corporatized—Christianity that may emerge out of those social realities.…”

Feminizing the liturgy: the N-Town Mary Play and fifteenth-century convent drama by Robinson, O
