Beginning with her own place in the effort for greater justice for women in Islam, Wadud goes on tackle a number of pertinent issues, including the state of Muslim women’s studies as a discipline in mainstream academia and the role of Muslim women in the domestic space.
This is a great book, it really opens my eyes to women’s issues in a religion that is obviously very liberating to women. I wanted to see what it was that was converting so many women to the religion and this book gives several answers as to why that is. I bought another one of her books because I really enjoyed this one.
