Muslim Women in Britain, 1850–1950 - 100 Years of Hidden History

Lin is a leading biological researcher. She has received a job offer of $60,000 at a corporation developing anti-balding technology, and a governmental grant offer of $30,000 for her proposal to research solutions to neglected diseases in impoverished areas. To some, there is no obligation from the point of view of social justice to take the government position over the corporate position; in her personal choices, she has complied with and supported just institutions, which is all that is needed. To others, there very well may be a social justice obligation. The issue that this divergence in opinion is about has amassed many names: Cohen calls it what the "eye of justice" focuses on (Rescuing 16), Tan "the site of justice" (Justice 34), and Rawls "the primary subject of justice" (Rawls 3). The issue is important theoretically, with respect to how we categorize what things are a subject of justice, and practically, with respect to how we are obligated in our personal choices.1

Summary

A landmark volume on the lives of Muslim women across a century of rapid change, restoring lost voices and enriching our picture of British society.
