A review by epaulette
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Though by no means her sole intention in her book, I'm really taken by Lamya's insistence in a feminist religious tradition, and how she shares how and where she finds feminism in her study of the Quran. It made me sad--but also hopeful, and interested--in finding feminism and empowerment where I'm not used to looking for it. This book made me cry a bunch, because Lamya is an incredibly talented writer, particularly in how she writes the experience of emotion. I'm excited to read more of her works.
