Seven contemporary Sufi women are interviewed and their responses are compared to traditional psychology. This book has received rave reviews by main stream America because it shows how Western women come to submission to God's Will (islam) and then sought the further dimension of commitment to inner change as part of the Sufi way of purification of the soul (tazkiyah-i nafs).

About the Author
Laleh Bakhtiar, Ph.D., a well-known author on Sufism, is the first person to unearth traditional psychology which had been buried in medieval philosophy. With this work she shows that traditional psychology is alive and vibrant and should be an alternative psychology to modern schools as the stress is upon morality and ethics. She is a nationally certified and licensed psychotherapist.

Significant resource for both Islamic and Gender studies,
By Mamazabakaka "Tome Raider" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sufi Women of America: Angels in the Making (Paperback)
Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar 's work on contemporary Sufi women in this country is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Gender Studies or hoping to enhance their understanding of the challenging complexity of genuine Sufi Muslim life and thought in America. This book provides an insight into the experience of very real women living and working in contemporary America while seeking a traditional path.
