Synopsis
Why do more and more women in Muslim countries don the veil? How can Islam's strict teachings about family and obedience be reconciled with the need to modernize? How is it that the tendency towards Islamization can go hand in hand with greater female participation in the labour force, higher education levels and generally increasing activity outside the home? This book attempts to answer these and other questions in its examination of the situation of Muslim women, a situation determined by the interplay between religious tenets, national laws and the concrete social rules that predominate in a traditional Muslim community.
