In Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam:
Bilateral Descent and the Legacy of Fatima, Alyssa Gabbay examines
episodes in pre-modern Islamic history in which individuals or
societies recognized descent from both men and women. Fatima,
daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, features prominently in this
study, for her example constituted a striking precedent for
acknowledging bilateral descent in both Sunni and Shi'i societies,
with all of its ramifications for female inheritance, succession
and identity. Covering a broad geographical and chronological
swath, Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam
presents alternative perspectives to patriarchal narratives, and
breaks new ground in its focus upon how people conceived of family
structures and bloodlines. In so doing, it builds upon a tradition
of studies seeking to dispel monolithic understandings of Islam and
Gender.
