Gulf Women
Edited by Amira El-Azhary Sonbol
http://syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu/fall-2012/gulf-women.html
This groundbreaking collection of essays provides a greater understanding of the
history of the Gulf and the Arab world and is of relevance to Muslim women
everywhere. Featuring research never published before, Gulf Women is the result
of a project aimed at finding sources and studying the history of women in the
region. The chapters cover ancient history and the medieval, early modern, and
contemporary periods. Presenting discourses on the life of women in early Islam,
women’s work and the diversity of their economic contribution, the family—and
how it changed over time—as well as the legal system and laws dealing with women
and family from the pre-modern to the modern periods, this is a pioneering
collection by leading scholars from Arab and international universities.
Contributors include Hatoon Ajwad al-Fassi, Allen Fromherz, Barbara Freyer
Stowasser, Amira El-Zein, Moneera al-Ghadeer, Hoda El Saadi, Hibba Abugideiri,
Omaima Abou-Bakr, Ramadan al-Khouli, Fatma al- Sayegh, Soraya Altorki, Ziba
Mir-Hosseini, and Lynn Welchman.
