The wind in my hair : my fight for freedom in modern Iran / by ʻAlīʹnizhād, Masīḥ,1976- author.$0(CARDINAL)494817(CARDINAL)494817;

"A photo on Masih Alinejad's Facebook page: a woman standing proudly, face bare, hair blowing in the wind. Her crime: removing her veil, or hijab, which is compulsory for women in Iran. This is the self-portrait that launched "My Stealthy Freedom," a social media campaign that went viral. But Alinejad is so much more that the arresting face that sparked a campaign urging women to find their voices. She grew up in a traditional village where, unlike her brother, she could not run, swim, or ride a bike. Fighting against the misogynist culture and restrictions of her beloved country, she became a world-class journalist whose personal story, told in her bold and spirited voice, is emotional and inspiring. A testament to a spirit that remains unbroken, and an enlightening, intimate invitation into a world we don't know nearly enough about, The Wind in My Hiar is the unforgettable true story of a woman who overcame enormous adversity to fight for what she believes in, and to encourage others to do the same." -- Dust jacket flap.

The caged virgin : an emancipation proclamation for women and Islam / by Hirsi Ali, Ayaan,1969-(CARDINAL)472050;

Includes bibiliographical references (pages 177-182) and index.Breaking through the Islamic curtain -- Stand up for your rights!: women in Islam -- Why can't we take a critical look at ourselves? -- The virgins' cage -- Let us have a Voltaire -- What went wrong?: a modern clash of cultures -- A brief personal history of my emancipation -- Being a politician is not my ideal -- Bin Laden's nightmare: interview with Irshad Manji -- Freedom required constant vigilance -- Four women's lives -- How to deal with domestic violence more effectively -- Genital mutilation must not be tolerated -- Ten tips for Muslim women who want to leave -- Submission: part I -- The need for self-reflection within Islam -- Portrait of a heroine as a young woman -- A call for clear thinking.Muslims who explore sources of morality other than Islam are threatened with death, and Muslim women who escape the virgins' cage are branded whores. So asserts Hirsi Ali's meditation on Islam and the role of women, the rights of the individual, the roots of fanaticism, and Western policies toward Islamic countries and immigrant communities. This controversial book is a call to arms for the emancipation of women from religious and cultural oppression and from an outdated cult of virginity. It is a defiant call for clear thinking and for an Islamic Enlightenment. But it is also the courageous story of how Hirsi Ali herself fought back against everyone who tried to force her to submit to a traditional Muslim woman's life and how she became a voice of reform. She relates her experiences as a Muslim woman so that oppressed Muslim women can take heart and seek their own liberation.--From publisher description.

Paradise beneath her feet : how women are transforming the Middle East / by Coleman, Isobel.(CARDINAL)498245;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-303) and index.Why women matter: The payoff from women's rights -- Gender jihad: The rise of Islamic feminism -- Revolutionary sisters: Iran -- Under the crescent moon: Pakistan -- Redirecting jihad: Afghanistan -- Channeling Khadijah: Saudi Arabia -- Daughters of Zainab: Iraq -- Conclusion: Unveiling the future.Over the centuries and throughout the world, women have struggled for equality and basic rights. Their challenge in the Middle East has been intensified by the rise of a political Islam that too often condemns women's empowerment as Western cultural imperialism or, worse, anti-Islamic. Author Isobel Coleman shows how Muslim women and men are fighting back with progressive interpretations of Islam to support women's rights in a growing movement of Islamic feminism. Coleman journeys through the strategic crescent of the greater Middle East -- Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan -- to reveal how activists are working within the tenets of Islam to create economic, political, and educational opportunities for women. Coleman argues that these efforts are critical to bridging the conflict between those championing reform and those seeking to oppress women in the name of religious tradition. Success will bring greater stability and prosperity to the Middle East and stands to transform the region. Coleman highlights a number of Muslim men and women who are among the most influential Islamic feminist thinkers, and illuminates the on-the-ground experiences of women who are driving change: Sakena Yacoobi, an Afghan educator, runs more than forty women's centers across Afghanistan, providing hundreds of thousands of women with literacy and health classes and teaching them about their rights within Islam. Madawi al-Hassoon, a successful businesswoman, is challenging conservative conventions to break new ground for Saudi professional women. Salama al-Khafaji, a devout dentist-turned-politician, relies on moderate interpretations of Islam to promote opportunities for women in Iraq's religiously charged environment. These quiet revolutionaries are using Islamic feminism to change the terms of religious debate, to fight for women's rights within Islam instead of against it.
