Seventeen Canadian scholars tell the stories of individuals who have worked in traditional and nontraditional roles, alone and as members of groups, both within and outside church structures. All of the articles present new or little-known material, relating the faith, determination, and inventiveness of women whose experience has so far been overlooked. The volume includes an introductory overview of women's church work as well as a comprehensive bibliography of papers and books published about women in the Christian church in Canada, both in English and in French. The incorporation of feminist analysis and an emphasis on gender issues set this collection apart from all other studies of Canadian church history. A unique and valuable book, it not only fills a void in the chronicles of religion, it adds an important new dimension to Canadian history. Canadian religious history has been written with relatively little reference to the role of women. Throughout the years, the church itself has intensified this problem by restricting the options of women - excluding them from valued roles and senior positions. In the past, Christian women were obliged to find alternative avenues for the expression of their faith and, as a result, their experience has been unusually rich and varied. This pioneering anthology traces the history of Canadian women in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant traditions from the early days through the 1960s.

Depuis le XIXe siècle, de nombreux changements juridiques concernant les droits des femmes sont à l'oeuvre dans tous les microcosmes sociaux. Tel est le cas du domaine religieux où la non-admission des femmes à certaines fonctions cultuelles constitue un élément de la liberté religieuse tout en mettant en cause l'égalité des sexes. Cet ouvrage explore de manière originale la prise en compte des droits de l'être humain - et en particulier l'égalité des sexes et la non-discrimination sexuelle - par les principales religions monothéistes (judaïsme, christianisme et islam). Par l'analyse du droit positif français, nourri du droit international et du droit européen, et avec une perspective sur d'autres pays européens, cette étude présente le traitement juridique des oppositions entre liberté religieuse et droits des femmes, au carrefour entre les valeurs sociétales et les particularités revendiquées par les acteurs religieux : les convictions, le sacré, les différences naturelles entre les sexes.
