Nine Parts Of Desire - The Hidden World Of Islamic Women

by Geraldine Brooks
Nine Parts Of Desire - The Hidden World Of Islamic Women - Thryft
Nine Parts Of Desire - The Hidden World Of Islamic Women - Thryft

Women of Islam: Struggles, Feminism and Stereotypes.

"Nine Parts Of Desire" is a must-read for those who seek to understand and appreciate the complex lives of Islamic women. The author's well-researched insights offer a refreshing counter-narrative to the one-dimensional portrayal of Muslim women in the West. This book is perfect for those interested in feminist discourse and is looking to broaden their understanding of the complexities of Islamic culture.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Geraldine Brooks spent two years as a Middle East news correspondent, covering the death of Khomeini and the like. She also learned a lot about what it's like for Islamic women today. Brooks' book is exceedingly well-done--she knows her Islamic lore and traces the origins of today's practices back to Mohammed's time. Personable and very readable, Brooks takes us through the women's back door entrance of the Middle East for an unusual and provocative view. This is about the hidden world of Islamic women.
