Asma Sayeed's book explores the history of women as religious
scholars from the first decades of Islam through the early Ottoman
period. Focusing on women's engagement with hadith, this book
analyzes dramatic chronological patterns in women's hadith
participation in terms of developments in Muslim social,
intellectual and legal history. It challenges two opposing views:
that Muslim women have been historically marginalized in religious
education, and alternately that they have been consistently
empowered thanks to early role models such as 'A'isha bint Abi
Bakr, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad. This book is a must-read
for those interested in the history of Muslim women as well as in
debates about their rights in the modern world. The intersections
of this history with topics in Muslim education, the development of
Sunni orthodoxies, Islamic law and hadith studies make this work an
important contribution to Muslim social and intellectual history of
the early and classical eras.
