Woman's Identity and the Qur'an: A New Reading - Hardcover

by Nimat Hafez Barazangi (Author)

An original and uncompromising study of the Qur'anic foundations of women's identity and agency, this book is a bold call to Muslim women and men to reread and reinterpret the Qur'an, Islam's most authoritative source, and to discover within its revelations an inherent affirmation of gender equality.
