Women in the Qur'an, traditions, and interpretation par Barbara Freyer Stowasser
Very interesting scholarly work that opens up a vast area of Islamic sunna (traditions) and tafsir (interpretation) to Western readers. Of course it dispels the crude popular prejudice that Islam is inherently misogynistic.
"Islamic ideas about women and their role in society spark considerable debate
both in the Western world and in the Islamic world itself. Despite the popular
attention given to Middle Eastern attitudes toward women, there has been little
systematic study of the statements regarding women in the Qur'an. Stowasser
fills the void with this study on the women of Islamic sacred history. By
telling the stories of these women as they appear in the Qur'an and Qur'anic
interpretation, she introduces us to past and present paradigms of Islamic
doctrine and to the socio-economic and political applications of these
paradigms. Stowasser establishes the link between the female figure as cultural
symbol and Muslim self-perceptions from Islam's beginnings to the present
time." --back cover… (plus d'informations)
