This review is from: Muslim Women Mystics: The Life and Work of Rabi'a and Other Women Mystics in Islam (Great Islamic Thinkers) (Paperback)
I love any book celebrating women and their strength in spirituality/religion/mysticism. This book is must have for any woman seeking to learn more of these powerful women. These are the feminine "rumi's"
