Fatima Mernissi The veil and the male elite

a feminist interpretation of women's rights in Islam

Mernissi endeavors to show that discrimination against women, so common in the Muslim world today, is not a fundamental tenet of Islam as many contemporary male Muslims would like us to believe. Her basic premise is that Islam is inherently egalitarian and, using extensive documentation from the Koran, the Hadith, and other Islamic historical commentary, Mernissi proves her hypothesis.
