Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Raised in Iran and employed by the government of the Shah, Reeves watched the development of the Iranian revolution and its displacement of westernized society. She seeks to examine the particular position of women in the reassertion of fundamentalist Islam, both in religious terms and in light of the political terrorism that became part of it. She concludes that many Muslim women find dignity in their religion, even as it calls for sacrifice of individual choices. The author identifies a number of issues linking the historical development of Islam and its modern resurgence, and contrasts different modes of women's participation in the movement. While she has read widely, she does not seem to have successfully analyzed her ideas or put them in a coherent synthesis.
