Sex and Secularism
How gender inequality is built into the conception of modern secular nation-statesJoan Wallach Scott's acclaimed writings have been foundational for the field of gender history. Drawing on a wealth of scholarship, Scott shows that the gender equality invoked today as an enduring principle was not originally associated with the term "secularism" when it first entered the nineteenth-century lexicon. With Sex and Secularism, she challenges one of the central claims of the "clash of civilizations" polemic--that secularism guarantees gender equality.
Scott reveals how the assertion that secularism has been synonymous with equality between the sexes has distracted our attention from difficulties related to gender difference--ones shared In fact, the inequality of the sexes was fundamental to the separation of church and state that inaugurated Western modernity.
