Soft Force
Princeton University Press (Verlag)
978-0-691-15849-5 (ISBN)
While they seem to reinforce women's traditional roles in a male-dominated society, these Islamist writers also reoriented Islamist politics in domains coded as feminine, putting women at the very forefront in imagining an Islamic polity. Bold and insightful, Soft Force transforms our understanding of women's rights, women's liberation, and women's equality in Egypt's Islamic revival.
Ellen McLarney is assistant professor of Arabic literature and culture at Duke University.
