Women in Islam The Western Experience

Women in Islam investigates the ongoing debate across the Muslim world and the West on the position of women in Islam. Anne-Sofie Roald focuses on how Islamic perceptions of women and gender change in Western Muslim communities. She shows how Islamic attitudes towards social concerns such as gender relations, female circumcision, and female dress emerge as responsive to culture and context, rather than rigid and inflexible.Roald, Anne-Sofie is the author of 'Women in Islam The Western Experience', published 2001 under ISBN 9780415248952 and ISBN 0415248957.
