Why women matter -- Gender jihad -- Revolutionary sisters: Iran -- Under the crescent moon: Pakistan -- Redirecting jihad: Afghanistan -- Channeling Khadijah: Saudi Arabia -- Daughters of Zainab: Iraq -- Conclusion.
In this timely book, Coleman journeys through the strategic crescent of the greater Middle East--Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan--to reveal how activists are working within the tenets of Islam to create economic, political, and educational opportunities for women. Coleman argues that these efforts are critical to bridging the conflict between those championing reform and those seeking to oppress women in the name of religious tradition.
