"Unveiling the Breath: One Woman's Journey into Understanding Islam and Gender Equality" tackles one of the most pressing issues that face us today - the changing roles that men and women must confront in a globalizing world. In particular, it explores the whole issue of gender within the Islamic world. This is the world the author has observed firsthand both through her humanitarian work and her experience as the first female vice-president of Nexen Inc., a large Canadian-based energy company operating in Muslim-majority countries. "Unveiling the Breath" incorporates East-West perspectives on faith and feminism, addresses male and female points of view, examines the thorny question of how to reconcile spirituality and patriarchy, and takes a close look at the complex issues involved in raising sons. In so doing, Kennedy-Glans peels back the 'Gender Onion' starting from the outer, more secular layers of our globalizing world-the workplace and communities - and on to the inner core of our private world of faith, spirituality and family.
