A classic, pioneering account of the lives of women in Islamic history, republished for a new generationThis pioneering study of the social and political lives of Muslim women has shaped a whole generation of scholarship. In it, Leila Ahmed explores the historical roots of contemporary debates, ambitiously surveying Islamic discourse on women from Arabia during the period in which Islam was founded to Iraq during the classical age to Egypt during the modern era. The book is now reissued as a Veritas paperback, with a new foreword by Kecia Ali situating the text in its scholarly context and explaining its enduring influence.Ahmeds book is a serious and independentminded analysis of its subject, the bestinformed, most sympathetic and reliable one that exists today.Edward W. SaidDestined to become a classic. . . . It gives [Muslim women] back our rightful place, at the center of our histories.Rana Kabbani, The Guardian

While I appreciated the exploration of historical roots, I found parts of the book repetitive. It was informative and had some valuable insights, but I expected more engaging writing. Still, it sparked some great conversations!

Great for Academic Discussions
I picked this up for a class on gender studies, and it turned out to be a fantastic resource. The historical context provided really helped me understand the modern debates surrounding women in Islam, though some sections are quite dense. Not an easy read, but rewarding!

A Disappointing Experience
I bought this book thinking it would offer a balanced view, but it felt biased in some sections. The arguments seemed one-sided at times, which was disappointing. I expected a more nuanced approach. Not what I hoped for!
