Author(s)

Abstract

The frame of this article are post-secular conditions, in which dis- and re-enchantment happen simultaneously and are reflected also as political movements. Whereas schol- ars on religion, women and gender frequently request a deeper interest by secularist feminist scholars, the body of religion-critical literature concerned with populist anti- feminist movements have so far not been taken up by religious-affirmative feminist scholars. However, these global political circumstances pose the question, how a closer connection between religion-critical and religion-affirmative research could look like. In this paper, I will engage with the feminist concept of “lived religion” and “agency” as well as the in/exclusion of voices of religious feminists. I will argue that we need to include a methodology of double critique and to include the voices of religious femi- nists in order to see the available religious options for women who decide to take part in gender restrictive lobbying.
