Portrayals of Islamic teachings in mass media, often present Muslim
women as victims of patriarchal norms. Often covered in a full
veil, and without individuality, they tend to be depicted using a
monochrome image, across Muslim countries and regions. It does not
portray the social reality and expectations of Muslim women, which
are in fact diverse and contextual. This book consists of articles
that attempt to answer the question, are Muslim women merely
passive objects in constructing their role, despite the spread of
social media and the Internet, the increased demands of earning
disposable income for their families, and their migration to
non-Muslim countries around the world? It closely examines women's
agency in negotiating their role in Muslim-majority societies and
in new places of settlement (Australia). These articles analyse
Muslim women's narratives in a wide range of economic, political,
social and cultural milieu and their relationship to identity
construction and portrayal in the new millennium. This volume was
originally published as a special issue of Islam and
Christian-Muslim Relations.
