This book breaks the myth of Muslim women being passive, oppressed and apolitical. It retrieves the mostly forgotten lives and voices of women from the eighth to the early twentieth century in Muslim countries and communities who asserted rights for themselves and for other women, promoting justice in the home and in the public sphere.
