Reviews

""In this remarkable book, Jaschok takes us inside women’s mosques, allowing us to hear a multitude of expressive voices: of the ethnographer herself, her collaborators, and most importantly, communities of Muslim women. Their words and their silences alike are sources of inspiring strength."" Anne Gerritsen, University of Warwick
