The importance of understanding community development and change through the eyes of those affected cannot be overlooked. During the Jasmine revolution, Muslim women have taken part from Yemen (the current movement began with a female student) to Egypt's social activists and women bloggers.
If you want to know from an insider's opinion what women in the Middle East think about women's leadership and modernization, then this book is a worthwhile purchase. The opinions of Muslim and Arab women should not be viewed only through the eyes of American, European or Western eyes; these women have their own opinions and reasons for involvement.
Women are negotiating their roles as leaders through the lens of their culture and religion for quite some time; this book is about the courageous leaders who are working for change.
