  This volume introduces new sources for the study of the past and present life of Muslim women that challenge paradigms about the ways in which they have been studied in the past veiled, exoticised and outside of general women's history. Amira El-Azhary Sonbol and the contributors deconstruct the past and offer fresh new perspectives.
