Abstract
The aim of this article is to introduce critically the international debate about the feminization of religion during the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. The main contributions of the scholars who have dealt with this matter are explained in this article, ranging from the beginnings of the feminization thesis in the middle of the seventies to the most recent research influenced by the discursive turn and the emphasis in masculinity and the religious activities of men. Furthermore, the most outstanding contributions of the Spanish historiography and some reflections about future research lines are taken into account. The relevant links among the feminization thesis and the secularization thesis as well as the troubled relation between religion and modernity are present along the article.
