wilkerwyrm's review against another edition

Oof this book took a while for me to finish. This book is a great entry point for anyone interested in Islamic feminism because it’s basically a primer on many important writers on the subject in the Middle East. It’s added greatly to my reading list. This book was written back in the 90s so the feminism is very first wave and the author can tend towards orientalism but her heart is definitely in the right place and the breadth of female Muslim experience discussed is pretty vast across class and race lines which is great to see.

didn't bother to finish because the point was obvious early on, that feminism is happening everywhere, but won't necessarily be called that, and will look different in different cultures because of differednt needs.
