The womens movement in Indonesias pesantren (Islamic boarding school) provides a good example of how Muslim women can act as agents of change in facing patriarchal repression derived from cultural practices and genderbiased religious interpretation. Instead of being mute victims, these women seek a more active role in the interpretation of religious teachings on womens rights issues. Although the conservative groups in pesantren have tried to silence or dismiss their works by simply labeling them as followers of a secular western agenda, women activists in pesantren have argued that their framework was grounded in Islamic teaching. This book, therefore, explores the womens movement in Indonesias pesantren and their contributions to develop gender equality in the traditionalist Muslim communities, particularly in Java, after the downfall of the Suharto regime in 1998. This book is an important study not only for readers interested in the rise of Islamic feminism in Indonesia, but also for all those interested in the development of global feminism in the world.
