| | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Feminism - Relationship to other movements Some feminists take a holistic approach to politics, believing the saying of Martin Luther King Jr., "A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". In that belief, some self-identified feminists support other movements such as the civil rights movement and the gay rights movement. At the same time, many black feminists such as bell hooks criticize the movement for being dominated by white women. Feminist claims about the alleged disadvantages women face in Western society are often less relevant to the lives of black women. This idea is the key in postcolonial feminism. Many bl ...

| | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Feminism - Perspective: the nature of the modern movement Most feminists believe discrimination against women still exists in North American and European nations, as well as worldwide. But there are many ideas within the movement regarding the severity of current problems, what the problems are, and how best to confront them.
Extremes on the one hand include some radical feminists such as Mary Daly who argues that human society would be better off with dramatically fewer men. There are also dissidents, such as Christina Hoff Sommers or Camille Paglia, who identify ...

| | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Feminism - Contemporary criticisms of feminism Feminism, in some forms and to varying degrees, has become generally accepted in Western society. However, the attention it has attracted, due to the social changes it has effected, has resulted in many dissenting voices. Criticism has come from within the movement, from masculists, and from social conservatives.
Postcolonial feminists criticise Western forms of feminism, notably radical feminism and its most basic assumption, universalization of female experience. They argue that this assumption is based on the experience of white, m ...

| | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Spirituality - Directed spirituality One aspect of 'Being spiritual' is goal-directed, with aims such as: simultaneously improve one's wisdom and willpower, achieve a closer connection to Deity/the universe, and remove illusions or false ideas at the sensory, feeling and thinking aspects of a person. The 'Plato's cave' analogy in book VII of The Republic is one of the most well known descriptions of the spiritual development process, and thus, an excellent aid in under ...

| | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Dualism - Usage in contemporary feminist theory An interesting theory relating to dualism and a contemporary feminist world view is presented by Susan Bordo. Bordo contends that dualism has shaped Western culture since the time of Plato, through Augustine and Descartes, up to the present day.
All three of these philosophers provide instructions, rules or models as to how to gain control over the body, with the ultimate aim of learning to live without it. The mind is superior to the body, and strength comes from disreg ...

| | | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Táhirih - Death of Táhirih One of her most notable quotes is her deathbed utterance, "You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women." It is believed that Qurrat al-'Ayn was the first woman in the world to proclaim the equality of men and women. However, a feminist convention was held in New York state in 1848.
With the virtual extermination of the Bábi movement in the early 1850's, Táhirih was martyred in her early to mid 30's in 1852 in the garden of Ilkhani in Tehran. (A prominent Bábí, and subsequently Bahá'í, histo ...

| | | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - Islamic democracy - Other issues Islamic democratic systems have the same human rights issues as other democracies, but some matters which may cause friction include appeasing anti-democratic Islamists, non-Muslim religious minorities, the role of Islam in state education (especially with regard to Sunni and Shia traditions), women's rights (See: Islamic feminist movement).
In addition, while some Islamic democracies ban alcohol outright, as it is against the religion, other governments allow the individual to choose whether to trangress Islam themselves. In these instances, while the act will be considered wrong by strict Muslims, the pe ...

| | | | | | Feminist Spirituality: Encyclopedia II - History of women in the United States - The growth of modern feminism Feminism of the second wave in the 1960's focused more on lifestyle and economic issues; "The personal is the political" became a catchphrase. Second wave feminism emerged with battles on three fronts. Many came from within the New Left, seeking to expand the agenda of civil rights and campus to the status of women, while becoming increasing vocal on the mistreatment of women within the movement. Others pursued a primarily economic agenda, advocating for equal access to and equality within the workplace. A third section confronted sex ...
