{"product_id":"feminism-and-islam-mai-yamani-9780814796818","title":"Feminism and Islam: Legal and Literary Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn an age when Western feminism is continuously undergoing redefinition, the struggles of women in Muslim countries are often overlooked. This volume illustrates how women in Islamic societies have become more actively involved not only in learning their rights under the sharia (Islamic law) but in rereading this law to improve their status and gain increased equality and freedom. Surveying Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt and Arab societies in general, the essays in feminism and Islam focus on such subjects as crimes of honor and the construction of gender in Arab societies; law and the desire for social control; women ad entrepreneurship; family legislation; and the political strategies of feminists in the Islam world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mai Yamani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814796818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814796818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.00w x 1.09d","brand":"Mai Yamani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926454894847,"sku":"9780814796818","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_85a6dbaf-3184-4c5c-894a-1ad22e45a853.jpg?v=1681083170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feminism-and-islam-mai-yamani-9780814796818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
