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
