- Summary
- "Control of women's sexuality remains to be one of the most powerful tools of patriarch in most societies. The essays in this volume show that the sexual oppression of Muslim women is not the result of an "Islamic" vision of sexuality, but a combination of political, social and economic inequalities throughout the ages. However, within this context of religion is often misused as a powerful instrument of control, with the goal of legitimizing violations of women's human rights" -- from book cover.
