Anyone engaged in the study of Islamic and Middle Eastern women’s history will be familiar with the vast output of Nikki Keddie in this field. Her contributions have been seminal in propelling the investigation of women and gender relations in a variety of historical contexts. This book includes both new and old material, brought together by the author’s formidable goal of providing a general synthesis of the state of the field at this moment. Relying on the rapidly evolving expansion ofresearch and scholarly output, it covers the period from pre-Islam until the present.
