Feminist theology is a movement found in several religions, including
Buddhism,
Christianity,
Judaism, and
New Thought, to reconsider the traditions, practices, scriptures, and theologies of those religions from a
feminist perspective. Some of the goals of feminist theology include increasing the role of women among the
clergy and religious authorities, reinterpreting male-dominated imagery and language about
God, determining women's place in relation to career and
motherhood, and studying images of women in the religion's sacred texts and
matriarchal religion.
