His Religion and Hers

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's His Religion and Hers is a brave critique of organized religion and the consequences that a male-constructed religion has on everyday life.

She suggests that through the development of secular ethics, religion can be directed not to the anticipation of a mythical afterlife, but instead to the transformation of the present.

Courageously questioning why neither religion, morality, nor ethics has made us good, she demonstrates the ways in which a male driven ideology has produced a religion focused on death and discourages any attention to the improvement of life on earth.

Offering new thoughts that advocate a collective change of view, this volume delves intensively into religion and the influence of gender.
