Reviews
Jardim's book is a valuable contribution to the tradition of giving women a voice in religious contexts. As her analysis is based on a non-confessional approach, it provides a valuable perspective, both outsider and insider, by using prominent female representatives from the Islamic tradition. Her mastery of the Arabic language, the Islamic source material and its Christian and Jewish counterparts, and current feminist writing gives her a solid foundation for her argumentation. Jardim's work is a good introduction to Islamic feminist thought as well as to Islamic source material in general. - Anne Sofie Roald, Malmoe University, Sweden in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, 2016

'The absence of women's voices from the scriptures of the major world religions has been the subject of feminist theologians' inquiry, especially during the past three decades. Georgina Jardim's work in feminist scholarship and women's study is impressive. This book provides a fine synopsis of some of the important works in Islamic hermeneutical tradition while set in a comparative framework. As such, it is a great contribution to the comparative feminist hermeneutics of scripture.' American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences
Author Information
Georgina L. Jardim read a PhD at the University of Gloucestershire, UK on obscure female characters in the Qur'an, bringing these conversations about community formation and the roles of women to bear on her study of the Qur'an as a Christian woman. She has taught in tertiary institutions in South Africa, and was a lecturer in Semitic languages at a Theological Seminary of the North West University in South Africa. She has also taught in the United Kingdom in both secondary and tertiary education and is currently pursuing ways to engage in, and further, cross-cultural dialogue within the Abrahamic religions.
