Description:
"The rise in global communications is one of the many forces of change that are transforming-and being transformed by-the lives of Muslim women. The essays address "digital Islam"; the complicated impact of television soap operas on Egyptian women; the "veil debate"; and gender, religion, and citizenship in an information society. Contributors include 2003 Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi-published here for the first time in English in book form-who discusses transforming human rights from an Islamic feminist perspective. Together, these fascinating and accessible essays explode Western stereotypes about Muslim women. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
