This review is from: Inside the Gender Jihad: Women's Reform in Islam (Paperback)
This is a great book, it really opens my eyes to women's issues in a religion that is obviously very liberating to women. I wanted to see what it was that was converting so many women to the religion and this book gives several answers as to why that is. I bought another one of her books because I really enjoyed this one.
