Woman Under the Ethnic Religions

Published in 1898, 'Woman Under the Ethnic Religions' by Mrs. Moses Smith is a scholarly analysis of women's roles and treatment across various ethnic religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Islam. The book critiques how these religious systems contribute to the subjugation of women, examining practices such as child marriage and educational restrictions. Smith contrasts these oppressive structures with Christian principles, advocating for the recognition of women's dignity and rights within both religious and societal contexts.
