An extremely timely translation of a seminal text on the role of women in Muslim society by the early twentieth century thinker al Taher al-Haddad. Considered as one of the first feminist works in Arab literature, this book will be of considerable interest to scholars of an early "feminist" tract coming from a Muslim in Arab society. Awarded the 2008 "World Award of the President of the Republic of Tunisia for Islamic Studies"

Industry Reviews

' Haddad assumes a reader who is familiar with the terms and concepts of the Islamic tradition. The translators make sure, however, that the non-expert is not left without guidance. Indeed, one of the particularly impressive aspects of this translation is the notes, which carefully explain all important disciplinary terms as well as provide biographies of important figures both medieval and modern. On the whole, Husni and Newman present Eadd:d's important contribution in a way that is accessible and thought-provoking to both specialists and novices.' -Hina Azam, University of Texas, Journal of Islamic Studies 2009
