In Sufi Women of South Asia. Veiled Friends of God, the first
biographical compendium of hundred and forty-one women, from the
eleventh to the twentieth century, Tahera Aftab fills a serious gap
in the existing scholarship regarding the historical presence of
women in Islam and brings women to the centre of the expanding
literature on Sufism. The book's translated excerpts from the
original Farsi and Urdu sources that were never put together create
a much-needed English-language source base on Sufism and Muslim
women. The book questions the spurious religious and cultural
traditions that patronise gender inequalities in Muslim societies
and convincingly proves that these pious women were exemplars of
Islamic piety who as true spiritual masters avoided its public
display.
