Women Claim Islam: Creating Islamic Feminism Through Literature Paperback - 2000

by Miriam Cooke


From the publisher

This provocative collection addresses the ways in which Arab women writers are using Islam to empower themselves, and theorizes the conditions that have made the appearance of these new voices possible.

First line

Before looking at the most recent developments in Arab women's writings, which have moved from a generally secular focus to an increasingly Islamic orientation, it is necessary to situate these writings more broadly within their historical context.
