There is an increasing number of middle- and upper-class urban Pakistani women turning toward Islam via Al-Huda, an Islamic school for women aiming to transform the women who absorb its message into 'pious' subjects. This title explores how Al-Huda is fostering a new generation of educated, urban, middle-class women to become veiled conservatives.
