Book Description:
|
Jewish and Islamic histories have long been interrelated. Both traditions emerged from ancient cultures born in the Middle East and both are rooted in texts and traditions that have often excluded women. This volume focuses attention on the theoretical innovations that gender scholarship has brought to the study of Muslim and Jewish experiences.
