Title: Fighting Hislam: Women, Faith and Sexism.
Description: Melbourne Melbourne University Press (MUP), 2017. Paperback octavo, very good plus condition, minor edgewear. 182 pp. Australian Muslim convert Susan Cartland (a lecturer at Monash University) investigates the stories, motivations and challenges of a group of 23 Muslim women in Australia and North America who fight sexism within the Muslim community as theologians, activists, writers and bloggers. Far from seeing their faith as the cause of the sexism they face, they see it as the vehicle to bring about the change they want, and an important part of their religious heritage. Entrenched cliches and stereotypes from all sides abound but very little information from Muslim women engaged at the coalface of fighting sexism is available. ISBN: 9780522870350
