'This insider study makes a detailed and much needed contribution to understanding the standpoints of Islamists in Europe on gender relations.' - Myfanwy Franks, University of York, Journal of Contemporary Religion'Amid all the texts currently available on women and Islam, this particular book fills a vary obvious gap ... The result is a book of significant scholarly worth that is meticulously researched, carefully written, and perhaps one of the best books currently available on women in Islam ... an exemplary study about processes of religious and cultural change.' - Sophie Cilliat-Ray, Cardiff University, Interreligious Insight
