Reclaiming Gender Justice through Religious Activism
Omschrijving
In telling the story of a group of pious Muslim women in Iran and their search for gender justice through negotiation and engagement with religious sources, Samaneh Oladi significantly enlarges our understanding of the potentials and limits of women's agency in the production of religious knowledge in Islam.--Ziba Mir-Hosseini, author of Journeys Towards Gender Equality in Islam This remarkable book shows that feminist positions can arise even within the confines of the strict Shi'a Islamic culture of Iran. Written from an insider's perspective but with the analytic clarity of an impressive scholar, it focuses on the Women's Islamic Coalition, one of the major movements for women's rights in the country. This insightful and well-written book should be on the required reading list of every department of feminist and Islamic studies and is a must-read for all who are concerned about the global march for human rights.--Mark Juergensmeyer, author of Global Rebellion: Religious Challenges to the Secular State
