Description:

Non-Muslims point to the subjugation of women that occurs in Muslim countries, while many Muslims read the Qur'an in ways that seem to justify sexual oppression, inequality, and patriarchy. This text develops a reading that demonstrates the egalitarian and anti-patriarchal nature of its teachings.
