Joan Wallach Scott Sex and secularism
Gedrukt boek
Scott shows that the gender equality invoked today as a fundamental principle was not originally associated with the term “secularism” when it first entered the nineteenth century.The inequality of the sexes was fundamental to the articulation of the separation of church and state that inaugurated Western modernity. Western nation-states imposed a new order of women’s subordination, assigning them to a feminized familial sphere meant to complement the rational masculine realms of politics and economics. It was not until the question of Islam arose in the late twentieth century that gender equality became a primary feature of the discourse of secularism.
