Description:

Conventional wisdom qualifies the Mediterranean Muslim woman as a passive person subjected to the tyranny and misogyny of her religion, society, and male relatives. These studies bear witness to the fact that individual women play pivotal roles in private domains of society and in the public realm.

Synopsis:

Based on original sources, this book questions the conventional wisdom that Mediterranean Muslim women are passive people subjected to the tyranny and misogyny of religion, society and male relatives. Encompassing everything from medieval love poetry to popular literary sources these studies bear witness to the fact that individual women of all social classes play pivotal roles in both the private domains of sociey and in the public realm.
