Article Title：Violation and resistance - Women, religion, and Chinese statehood

Abstract：
This article argues that where gender is pressed into the service of collective projects of nation and community building, women's rights to self-constitution, incorporating religious expressions, are vulnerable to violation, as are associated rights to political and social participation and societal recognition of full personhood. Against the recent history of a volatile, sometimes violent, relationship between an absolutist Chinese State and its religious minorities, the article examines the implication of the relegation of religious women to an antithesis of paradigmatic womanhood, in terms of questions over the origin definition, and validation, as well as legitimacy, of Communist Party-led liberation. I; also explores the beginnings of women's challenge to loci of both secular and religious patriarchy.

Keywords: Chinese statehood; religious expression; religious minorities; religious women
