| This book explores women who practice or interact with the gender norms and spaces of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The contributors focus on questions of how and why religious and secular authorities seek to regulate womens mobility and access to particular spaces, and how religious women negotiate their agency and mobility within traditional institutions. The chapters are grouped under three sections: "Women and Colonial Regimes," "Religion and Women's Mobility," and "New Spaces for Religious Women." Secular, critical, and comparative viewpoints are explored, with much of the scholarship steeped in fieldwork; i.e., an orthodox district in Jerusalem, a shopping mall in Istanbul, women travelers in Pakistan, and Korean immigrant women in Los Angeles. Contributors broaden notions of space to include architecture, national borders, external and internal boundaries, and assorted identifying markers such as race and clothing and their associated mobilities. Contents: Repression of Muslim women's movements in colonial East Africa (Jennifer Kopf) * Conversion of native and slave women in Dutch colonial South Africa : from assimilation to apartheid * Gender, religion and urban management: women's bodies and everyday lives in Jerusalem (Tovi Fenster) * A feminist geography of veiling: gender, class, and religion in the making of modern subjects and public spaces in Istanbul (Banu Gökariksel) * In the lady's seat: cosmopolitan women travelers in Pakistan (Kathryn Besio) * Missionary women in Early America: prospects for a feminist geography (Jeanne Kay Guelke and Karen M.
