This pioneering study of the social and political lives of Muslim women has shaped a whole generation of scholarship. In it, Leila Ahmed explores the historical roots of contemporary debates, ambitiously surveying Islamic discourse on women from Arabia during the period in which Islam was founded to Iraq during the classical age to Egypt during the modern era. The book is now reissued as a Veritas paperback, with a new foreword by Kecia Ali situating the text in its scholarly context and explaining its enduring influence.   "Ahmed's book is a serious and independent-minded analysis of its subject, the best-informed, most sympathetic and reliable one that exists today."--Edward W. Said   "Destined to become a classic. . . . It gives [Muslim women] back our rightful place, at the center of our histories."--Rana Kabbani, The Guardian… (altro)

تقوم الكاتبة بـ"تقصى الخطابات حول المرأة والنوع في مجتمعات الشرق الأوسط بحيث يتضمن هذا دراسة المجتمعات التي تتأصل فيها هذه الخطابات، وذلك من خلال البحث تحديدا في الطريقة التي يتم بها التعبير عن النوع تعبيرًا اجتماعيًا ومؤسسيًا ولفظيًا".

وفيما تبدأ الكاتبة بحثها منذ العهد النبوي وصولا إلى الزمن المعاصر ، فإنها تولي أهمية كبيرة لفترة "النهضة" . وتركز ليلى أحمد نطاق بحثها جغرافيا على مصر باعتبارها مثلت آنذاك "البوتقة التي خرجت منها عمليات التحول والصراعات الدائرة حول مفاهيم النوع والتي ظلت تنفجر من حين لآخر في مصر وغيرها من المجتمعات العربية الإسلامية منذ القرن التاسع عشر، ويمكن القول إن التطورات التي شهدتها مصر قد آذنت بقيام التطورات في العالم العربي ، بل وعكست الكثير منها".
وتتبنى الكاتبة في وصف هذه المرحلة مفهوم "التحول الاجتماعي" محددة دوافعه ومعاييره في كل من: "الزحف الاقتصادي للغرب وتعسر الاقتصاد العالمي وظهور الدول الحديثة في المنطقة والسيطرة الرسمية وغير الرسمية للقوى الاستعمارية الأوربية على مساحات عريضة من المنطقة في أواخر ق19 وأوائل ق20". ففي هذا الإطار جاء "ظهور المرأة كموضوع محوري للجدل على مستوى الأمة، ارتبط بقضايا شديدة الأهمية" .
وتثير الكاتبة مفارقة مؤداها أن أنصار الحركة النسوية في الغرب -رغم التراث الغربي الشديد العداء للمرأة- لا ينادون بالتخلي عن التراث الغربي في مجمله وتبن كامل لثقافة أخرى كملجأ وحيد للمرأة الغربية. في حين أن الوضع في الشرق كان مختلفا حين صاغ دعاة تحسين وضع المرأة قضيتهم في إطار الحاجة إلى التخلي عن الممارسات غير القابلة للإصلاح الخاصة بالانحياز ضد المرأة في ثقافتهم لصالح الثقافة الأوروبية .

An important and insightful academic study that needs to be read by everyone who cares about women, gender, feminism, Islam, the Middle East, or colonization.

Lelia Ahmed is a superb scholar. She combines a traditional respect for the accuracy of the portrayal of the past with a sensitivity to modern theory about contested values and the political use of symbols. In this book, she provides a two-thousand-year survey of a vast region, consistently noting what still needs more research and the potential biases of her sources. She carefully traces differences of class and race within Islam and Middle Eastern societies. Historical context is absolutely critical in her account. Importantly, Ahmed is capable of recognizing contradictions and ambiguity that influence all our thinking.
