Reviews

'This book is a brave and passionate plea for Muslim women to reclaim the egalitarian message of their faith, which was eclipsed after the Prophet's death by the exclusion of women from positions of leadership and from participation in the production of religious knowledge.' Ziba Mir-Hosseini, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK 'Nimat Barazangi in her pioneering work on hadith is following the path of early female thinkers of Islam, reclaiming women's identity to Islam. The fresh approach found here shifts the traditional boundaries of authority known in the realm of Hadith. Woman's Identity and Rethinking the Hadith is a must read for Muslim women today.' Hatoon Al Fassi, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar University, Qatar
