"Fedwa Malti-Douglas . . . crosses linguistic, cultural, national,
and religious frontiers; she gives consistency to an Islamic
revival differentiated from Islamic fundamentalism, challenging
methods, programs, problematisations of social, and political
sciences applied to the study of the contemporary Islamic textual
corpus. It is a needed contribution to the interpretation of the
born-again phenomenon as expressed by female figures emerging from
Islamic context where so far women are subjects talked about more
than the subjects talking."--Mohammed Arkoun, editor of "Arabica
"The author's voice is nuanced by her wide knowledge of Islam,
of feminism, and of life. One comes to know these women well, and
to care about them. I was often deeply moved, and I was also often
moved to laughter by the zany Marx Brothers--like collisions
between the registers of East and West, or medicine and religion,
or just between the wits of these gutsy, self-aware women and the
flat-footed male establishment."--Wendy Doniger, author of "The
Bedtrick: Tales of Sex and Masquerade"
"A remarkable book. Combining textual analysis and biography
Fedwa Malti-Douglas opens new vistas in understanding Islamist
women and gender relations in contemporary Islam."--John L.
Esposito, University Professor, Georgetown University
