It provides an important look at the very comtemporary phenomenon of veiling in Egypt through the firsthand reports of the women whom Zuhur has interviewed. Her subjects come across as real people and their discussion in relation to the various questions asked provide quite compelling views of the reason why they favor and oppose veiling.' Jane I. Smith, Iliff School of TheologyIn modern Egypt, the pace of Islamic resurgence has increased as in other Muslim societies. Throughout the twentieth century, Egyptian women have fought fiercely for political participation and for legal and educational reform to improve their status. To many of them, the adoption of a new form of the veil seemed retrogressive and ominous. This book explores the history of Muslim women and the debates over gender which have developed since the golden age of Islam. It considers the opinions, goals, and ideals of fifty Egyptian women, veiled and unveiled and compares their views to the gender ideology of the contemporary Islamists. Women's social backgrounds are examined in the context of the Egyptian state and its social policies.'In order to come up with the meaning of veiling and unveiling in contemporary Egypt, this book combines discussion of archetypal figures in the history of Muslim womanhood with selfperception, discussion on femininity, and what it is to be religious.' Valerie HoffmanLadd, University of Illinois at Urbana
