Women in the Mosque - A History of Legal Thought and Social Practice

Juxtaposing Muslim scholars' debates over women’s attendance in mosques with historical descriptions of women’s activities within Middle Eastern and North African mosques, Marion Holmes Katz shows how over the centuries legal scholars' arguments have often reacted to rather than dictated Muslim women’s behavior.
