- catalog abstract ""Militant Islam is changing the way millions behave and how nations are governed; its impact on women is devastating. Award-winning journalist Jan Goodwin traveled through ten Islamic countries and interviewed hundreds of Muslim women, from professionals to peasants, from royalty to rebels. The result is an unforgettable, blistering journey into a world where women are confined, even killed, for the sake of a 'code of honor' created and zealously enforced by men. This is a world where grandmothers can be whipped for showing a tiny lock of hair, rape victims are imprisoned for 'fornication, ' doctors surgically restore hymens for brides because nonvirgins can be killed by male relatives, and American converts to Islam accept their husbands' polygamy. Price of Honor brings to life a world in which women have become pawns in a bitter power game. Here is a provocative look inside Muslim society -- and a ringing wake-up call to the world"--Back cover.".
