In an age when Western feminism is continuously undergoing
redefinition, the struggles of women in Muslim countries are often
overlooked. This volume illustrates how women in Islamic societies
have become more actively involved not only in learning their
rights under the sharia (Islamic law) but in rereading this law to
improve their status and gain increased equality and freedom.
Surveying Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt and Arab societies in
general, the essays in feminism and Islam focus on such subjects as
crimes of honor and the construction of gender in Arab societies;
law and the desire for social control; women ad entrepreneurship;
family legislation; and the political strategies of feminists in
the Islam world.
