Women and Gender in Islam: Historical Roots of a Modern Debate by Leila Ahmed
5.0
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
This book was extremely interesting. I have been reading more non-fiction lately so as soon as I saw this I was drawn to it. It is a reasonable easy read, I lacked a lot of background knowledge since this is my first book on the subject, however with the help of the notes and some quick searches you are able to follow what is being said and for me getting new perspectives I was not familiarized with was the goal.
I believe this was a great introduction since you can follow from the historical roots until more recent days and definitely got me interested to read more about the subject. I have a few pages of notes and books to check out and I feel like I got a direction on different perspectives and where to go from here. Overall very worth reading and even though I don't have a formed opinion of a subject I know so litlle about I definitely feel this was extremely valuable to get me started.
