ABOUT THIS BOOK
"The most significant theoretical advance in Muslim-world women's studies for years."

Arguing that Islam is not uniform across Muslim societies and that women's roles in these societies cannot be understood simply by looking at texts and laws. the contributors focus, instead, on the effects of the political projects of states on the lives of women.
