Sinopsis

What is the nature and social role of women? In today&rsquo,s Shi&lsquo,ism, these questions are often answered through the &ldquo,separate-but- equal&rdquo, ideology which emphasizes the role of women as wives and mothers, and places men in authority. But is this the only ideology which can be derived from Shi&lsquo,i scriptural sources? This book takes a more nuanced approach to that question by exploring how women are portrayed in hadith on ancient sacred narrative &ndash, the stories of the prophets. It shows far more diverse views on what it means to be a woman (and, by extension, a man) &ndash, and that early Shi&lsquo,is held competing views about ideals for women.
