- catalog abstract "This volume provides an interpretive reading of the Qu'ran by a woman, reading which validates the female voice in the Qu'ran and brings it out of the shadows. Muslim progressives have long argued that it is not the religion but patriarchal interpretation and implementation of the Qu'ran that have kept women oppressed. The author breaks down specific texts and key words which have been used to limit women's public and private role, even to justify violence toward Muslim women, revealing that their original meaning and context defy such interpretations. Despite much Qu'ranic evidence about the significance of women, gender reform in Muslim society has been stubbornly resisted. This reading of the Qu'ran confirms women's equality and constitutes legitimate grounds for contesting the unequal treatment that women have experienced historically and continue to experience legally in Muslim communities. The author argues that the Qu'ran does not prescribe one timeless and unchanging social structure for men and women; she maintains that the Qu'ran holds greater possibilities for guiding human society to a more fulfilling and productive mutual collaboration between men and women than as yet attained by Muslims or non-Muslims.".
