The relationship between Islam and feminism is complex. There are
many Muslim scholars who fervently promote women's equality. At the
same time, there is ambivalence regarding the general norms,
terminology, and approaches of feminism and feminist theology. This
ambivalence is in large part a product of various hegemonic,
androcentric, and patriarchal discourses that seek to dictate
legitimate and authoritative interpretations. These discourses not
only fuel ambivalence, they also effectively obscure valuable
possibilities related to interreligious feminist engagement. Divine
Words, Female Voices is the follow-up to Jerusha Lamptey's 2014
book, Never Wholly Other, in which she introduced the idea of
"Muslima" theology and applied it to the topic of religious
diversity. In this new book, she extends her earlier arguments to
contend that interreligious feminist engagement is both a
theologically valid endeavor and a vital resource for Muslim women
scholars. She introduces comparative feminist theology as a method
for overcoming challenges associated with interreligious feminist
engagement, reorients comparative discussions to focus on the two
"Divine Words" (the Qur'an and Jesus) and feminist theology, and
uses this reorientation to examine intersections, discontinuities,
and insights related to diverse theological topics. This book is
distinctive in its responsiveness to calls for new approaches in
Islamic feminist theology, its use of the method of comparative
theology, its focus on Muslim and Christian feminist theology in
comparative analysis, and its constructive articulation of Muslima
theological perspectives.
