Description

Review ”Schneider’s choices of topics are savvy; she covers the foundations, such as the instructions for women found in the Qur’an, and contemporary Muslim feminist movements, as well as a sampling of narrower topics, like Morocco’s family law reforms or the roles of women in literature. This variety of subjects both showcases the diversity and historical variation of women’s roles in the Islamic world and pushes the discourse about Muslim women away from simplistic clichés. The book is meticulous in the treatment of a very complex subject, and should serve as a valuable and accessible introduction to the topic for both new and more expert readers.” - Publishers Weekly Product Description This book describes and analyses the different roles women have played in the Islamic world, past and present. Starting with Sharia regulations and their applications in societies throughout history, it addresses the obstacles and opportunities women have faced, and still face, in various Islamic societies. The last chapter addresses women's participation in the Arab Spring and their hopes and disappointments. The result is a vivid portrait of the different worlds of women in Islam, encompassing religion and law, sexuality and love, literature and the arts, law and professional life, and politics and power.
