The main focus in which Karen McCarthy Brown touched on was Religious fundamentalism. As she stated, it is very difficult to define, however there are many who think they know it when they see it. I feel that women have gone through so much, just to get respect and rights. In the early times, women were confined to their homes or even had limited access to the public sphere. There were so many restrictions that women had and even today there are still restrictions placed on women by their spouse or significant other. Karen also stated that in her view, religion of the stressed and the disoriented, of those for whom they world is overwhelming. It is  the religion of those at once seduced and betrayed by the promise that we human beings can comprehend and control our world. The Anti-Abortion Movement is quite a different kind of consistency maintaining strong and clear social boundaries. This is a group centrally concerned with social order and social control. There is also fundamentalism cross-culturally, for example in India, where the cult that developed around the recent immolation of a young woman on her husband’s funeral pyre has been described as as instance of fundamentalism. I would therefore suggest that fundamentalism is not primarily a religion of the marginalized, as Karen stated it is more salient feature is that develops among people caught off balance.
