By Ronak Husni, Daniel L. Newman, Al-Tahir Haddad

An extremely timely translation of a seminal text on the role of women in Muslim society by the early twentieth century thinker al Tahir al-Haddad. Considered as one of the first feminist works in Arab literature, this book will be of considerable interest to scholars of an early "feminist" tract coming from a Muslim in Arab society.
