    Review: "This book is a translation of what can arguably be called the very first Arabic feminist manual on the role of women in Muslim society by the early twentieth-century Tunisian author and reformist al-Tahir al-Haddad (Taher Haddad)." "The extensive introduction places the book in its historical context and includes an overview of the various movements and reformists who dealt with the emancipation of Muslim woman prior to al-Haddad's book. This is followed by a biography of al-Haddad and a discussion of the background and genesis of Our Woman in the Shari'a and Society. Causing quite a furore when it was released, the book remains just as topical today as it was then."--BOOK JACKET.
