Description

The history of Islam and the changing role-performance of Muslim women, given the various interpretations of the belief system of Islam, are described.

It is the contention of the authors that it is these various interpretations which have given rise to the conflict between the ideal and contextual realities.

This book also includes papers which investigate the problems of feminism and employment for Muslim women, as well as the educational and legal aspects of their lives in contemporary Islamic society. First published in 1984.
