The woman in the medieval Islamic eras

The woman in the medieval Islamic ages Gafen Hambley tries to correct many of the Orientalist and modern Arab writings that dealt with women as an unknown and marginalized element in the history of Muslim society. In this book, the reader finds experiences of women who worked in politics, poets, and leaders.. alongside some women who transcended the stereotypical image of the imaginary life of women in the pages of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish literature. The book presents the role and contributions of women in many social, cultural, and political fields, based on extensive research and studies prepared by twenty international scholars.
