Religion and Sexism: Images of Woman in the Jewish and Christian Traditions (1974) is a volume edited by Rosemary Radford Ruether.

Abstract

"These essays attempt to fill a growing need for a more exact idea of the role of religion, specifically in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, in shaping the traditional cultural images that have degraded and suppressed women. This book provides, in the compass of a single work, a glimpse of the history of the relationship of patriarchal religion to feminine imagery and to the actual psychic and social self-images of women."--Publisher description.
