Negative Positive
Title: balanced and broad
Review: I enjoyed this book because of the wide view of Islamic women it portrayed. From reports of the Taliban and books like "Princess Sultana's Daughters", we hear of very restrictive regimes where women are oppressed. Geraldine Brooks shows us that many women choose the veil, and that there are many different kinds of Islam.I also enjoyed the chapters on women in Islamic texts, and where the traditions evolved from.
Is the review positive or negative?
