Fatima, daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, features prominently in this study, for her example constituted a striking precedent for acknowledging bilateral descent in both Sunni and Shi'i societies, with all of its ramifications for female inheritance, succession and identity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCovering a broad geographical and chronological swath, Gender and Succession in Medieval and Early Modern Islam presents alternative perspectives to patriarchal narratives, and breaks new ground in its focus upon how people conceived of family structures and bloodlines. In so doing, it builds upon a tradition of studies seeking to dispel monolithic understandings of Islam and Gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alyssa Gabbay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838602313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838602314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
