Women in Islam

The outsider's impression of Muslim women is often colored by media portrayals on the news, which tend to reinforce Western ideas of gender. This anthology interrogates questions related to women in Islam from a variety of diverse perspectives. Readers will learn about key issues such as the relationship between the Quran and how gender roles are practiced, and the concept of religious dress as a form of liberation, not oppression. Experts make arguments that challenge status quo notions.
