Veiled Women (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163856154)

Veiled Women is a novel written by Marmaduke Pickthall that explores the lives of Muslim women in the early 20th century. The story is set in India and follows the lives of several women from different social classes, including a wealthy merchant's daughter, a poor peasant girl, and a widowed mother. The women are all bound by the strict cultural and religious traditions of their society, which dictate their behavior, dress, and relationships with men. The novel delves into the inner lives of these women, exploring their hopes, dreams, and fears, as well as the challenges they face in a patriarchal society that often denies them agency and autonomy. Through their stories, Pickthall offers a nuanced portrayal of Muslim women that challenges Western stereotypes and misconceptions. Veiled Women is a thought-provoking and insightful novel that sheds light on a complex and often misunderstood aspect of Muslim culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
