| Summary: | The paper attempts to probe the experiences of a small sample group of Christian and Hindu women by working through what is termed the "mothering mandate" and "roles of conformity". It attempts to problematise the issue of self and identity within the context of the woman's articulation of her religious persona inside the margins of the textual and societal role dictates of her particular religio-cultural complex. By listening to the ethno-narratives of the women, examples of the material contexts of discursive power which operate on women within particular religions, are brought to light. |
