Résumé

A paper in response to Martha Nussbaum surrounding her work about religious freedoms among liberal ideals through an intersectional lens. I will argue that the alleged conflict between freedom of religion and liberal ideals do not exist, and define a process in which to determine whether a practice can be tolerated. I will focus on the treatment of women in religion, and defend their right to religious freedoms while accommodating liberal ideals.
