| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The researchers' aim is to approach their subjects critically from a gender perspective and perform an examination or analysis in light of their criticism or their reframing of interpretations that have been accepted as standard. The image of women as actors in religious history has been romanticized. In other words, attention has focused mainly on women of exceptionally heroic quality, and the images of those women have been amplified, in an attempt to overturn the image of women as sacrificial victims of oppression. An approach that seeks to substantiate the agency of women in this way, however, can only be futile. This research has illuminated the existence of women in many traditions who had never before been recognized on the public stage of history, and it has shown how, despite the constraints imposed by their times, women have independently and actively engaged in religious activity.
